So here are few tips that would help us to have good professional photographs.

Equipments
The first most important thing you need to do is to check the equipments before starting taking the photographs. The quality digital camera, camera bag, memory card, small tripod, photo printer or the computer, reflectors, lighting kit, a studio for shooting or an outdoor location, software's such as adobe Photoshop, software for the digital imaging, you should have few books on lighting the set up.

Know the camera
Before starting taking the photos, you should be familiar with the using of your camera, you should know how to use it, and you should be familiar with all the aspects as some cameras are not user friendly.  Use the automatic settings of your camera, if you are just a beginner. The common automatic settings options are portraits, landscapes, close ups, action, bright light, slow shutter.  See the manual of the camera for all these options. The moment you get comfortable with these automatic settings, you can work with manual mode. But before starting you should understand the usage of shutter speed and aperture as it will give you the correct exposure.

What images to take?
While starting it is best to start taking pictures of everything around you. Click on different objects with different sizes, shapes and colors. You can also photograph older books, clock, doll, antiques, and fruits. After spending time with the objects, than you can look for the good settings, do not worry about the light. Place the camera in tripod, and then take the photos from different angles, close ups, no zoom, camera at 90", camera at 45", from your left, from your right, straight shot, zooming and focusing on a object. Such actions would help you to be more familiar with the camera, and it will help you to create and understand creative shots.

Light
Now you need good lighting in the photos. Use flash according to the requirement, for instance you do not need flash if you are clicking the photographs in the afternoon as enough light is there outside. Use the natural light as much as possible to avoid the shadows. Avoid the shadow on the subjects. Do not click images with a light behind the subject.  

Focus
Focus is the tool of any good photograph. If you focus on the correct subject in the photo it can make lots of differences in the photo. Be patient and spend some time with the camera to get a beautiful photograph.
