No reason at all that I can think of not to shot this kind of subject in
JPEG. Nice limited brightness range, like in a studio, is no challenge
to the range of brightness JPEG can handle. If I were doing studio
shooting, I'd probably use JPEG all the time.

A very fine portrait. If she were 30 years older.....

Maybe, but not in the case at hand.

If you are going to be doing a lot of messing with a JPEG image, or any
8 bit image, converting to 16-bit, doing the editing, then converting
back, can minimize the oddness that can otherwise occur. I don't know
what else to call the effect of cumulative adjustment to 8-bit images.
They can just start to look less and less natural as editing goes on.
Some are relatively unaffected, others get almost surreal. Of course, I
do sometimes mess about a lot.....
