I do also. My studio shots are normally in color, but elsewhere I prefer B&W since it eliminates any distracting colors in my candid portraits and encourages the viewer to focus on the subject's eyes.
I'm not really clever enough to manage color photographs, so anything "serious" tends to be black and white.
