Your models should already be able to pose, you shouldn't have to pose them. It's your job to follow them with your camera and shoot them as they're doing their thing. Straight on isn't always the best option, a lot of times having a model turn to the side and then turn your head to look at you, or look up, will be great. He/She doesn't always HAVE to be looking at the camera.
A portrait doesn't have to be a shoulders-up shot either. In fact, the majority of the models i've worked with so far don't want a head shot at all, they want full body. Situate yourself a certain distance with a zoom lens so you can go in for a head shot if you'd like, then zoom in or not to get the shot that you "see" in the pose. After that, ID a site, prop or backdrop for them to work with and let them have at it/do their thing. Just keep shooting, you can suggest things such as "turn your head this way, that way, cock your hips, move your leg" etc, if you see the potential for a great shot, tell them to go back (I had to do this with a model I worked with this past weekend. She accidently moved onto the cutest pose and I had to give her direction to move back into it).
ID what type of outfits they are going to be wearing, if anything. Is it informal, formal? Black and white, color?
