Start with your original and add an adjustment layer of channel mixer.
Layer —> New adjustment layer —> Channel mixer.
Choose ‘monochrome’ and play with the sliders until you are happy with the black and white version.This gives you more options than a plain desaturation with CRTL+SHIFT+U .For portraits I personally like the blue channel most quite often.I let the total set to 100.
Change the ‘opacity’ of this layer to 50 %.You can re-adjust to personal taste later.

Now come the sepia tones.
go to Layer —> New adjustment layer —> Hue/Saturation.
check ‘Colorize’ and add your wished sepia values.I tend to use 30 Hue and 20 Saturation as values.
