Newbie trying to decide what portrait lens to add!

Hi chari, welcome to the Forum!
I agree with the advice you're heard so far and will add a vote for the DA50mm f/1.8, it's a dandy modern AF prime, smooth bokeh below f/4.0 and very sharp stopped down. For portraits and candids it renders beautifully, shoot at the wider apertures and you'll be fine.
For 'product' shots, stopping down for detail, resolution and depth of field will be helped greatly by the addition of a small flash and tripod. A used Pentax AF280T will work well enough for this and a tripod allows longer exposures without camera shake. Your sample images will be better and more professional.
A few inexpensive light reflectors and flash modifers from eBay will take both the portrait and sample shots to another level.
The DA50 should do the rest quite well.
p.s. A link for you; Strobist: Lighting 101
Good luck!
Ron
