Remember too that too long a lens will make your subject look too "flat". As I recall, the rule of thumb for 35mm cameras was a 100mm lens for "typical" portraits... something in 70-80mm should be about right for 1.5X-1.6X crop factor DSLRs. Your kits lens is a little too short too get past the "barrel distortion" for most portrait work (unless you're going for that effect, of course).
Best lens recommendation for you is Canon L-series... like this:

Of course, you get what you pay for... L-series glass AIN'T CHEAP. $1500 for that 24-105mm!
