I have a canon xti now and I love it, but I was wondering if this would be a good camera to use for like weddings or portaits on a professional basis?

It’s not a camera for the professional user. But, with it’s lens mount you can affix any number of pro L-series lenses, many of which are or can be quite a bit more expensive that the camera itself. This is actually a better situation to find yourself in, to be honest. You should always put the bulk of your investment in lenses anyway as a good pro lens will outlive all of your camera bodies for years to come. If you get into that type of investment, it really locks you into your brand so be sure you want to stick with canon before investing in pro glass. L glass can also make up for what the Camera Body lacks. For now, the only downside to your body is a lack of good ISO performance at higher sensitivities. You’ve got decent resolution already. As someone has already mentioned, The Canon 5D would better suit the needs of a professional (or even non professional) as the increase in resolution from 10mp to 12mp and the benefit of higher pixel pitch from a Full Frame sensor in a more rugged body will make the job easier. But, less easy, the job can be done with what you’ve got given you make the necessary investment. Your Kit Lens will not likely be sufficient. It is possible, as all things are, to take your xti and kit lens and make a living. People these days seem to be less impressed with technical superiority than they are with cost. So if you can learn to make great images with what you’ve got, then more power to you. If you can afford it, look into a 24-70mm f/2.8L USM and a 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM. With those lenses, you’re pretty close to being able to handle semi-pro jobs. They are about a $3000 investment together.
