Hi Havard,
There is a lot of information on the internet about taking still photos of paintings. As Ellory says, you really need to use a still photography camera. Beyond that, the issues are choice of lens, lighting, including glare if the paintings are behind glass (if possible, glass should be removed), and colour accuracy.
If your friend wants to use the photos for her portfolio, she probably wants the colours in the photos to match the colours in the paintings, which means using an X-Rite ColorChecker or equivalent. Some articles about photographing paintings, and other subjects where colour accuracy is important, refer to a Gretag Macbeth Chart. X-Rite bought Gretag Macbeth and renamed the chart.
