What is a list of the basic equipment I would need to pursue a career in outdoor portrait photography?

I am interested in portrait photography (familes, children, babies, seniors, engagements and so on) but at this point in my life, I cannot have a studio so Im going to work on my outdoor photography. Could someone give me a list of the basic equipment I would need to do this. Also, I will not have an assistant at any time so I would need everything to be "owner operated" you know..something I could set up myself with no assistance from someone having to hold something for me to do the shoot. I already have a camera, tripod and a portrait lens. But im interested in lighting, etc.. Thanks in advance.!!
REASON FOR NO ASSISTANTS: I live ten hours from any family of friends. Dont know anyone that could help out and I have 2 small children that will be with my husband while Im working.

Tripod
Reflectors and sun blockers with stands
External flashes with modifiers
Posing seats, steps etc.
