I would also invest in alien bee's. If your going to have a permanent studio. If mobile invest in speed lights with light modifiers. You can get some nice Nikon SB-24's and SB-28's used on ebay and cactus triggers from gadget infinity, and some light stands and umbrellas. Then a simple backdrop stand mine was 100$ from b and h photo.

Just a tip before you dive in. I would recommend looking into your local laws in regards to an in home studio. I officially opened my photography business in September. In getting my business license I found out how much more is needed for your home studio legal wise. You need its own entrance, bathroom and dedicated space. Then you have to get an occupancy license along with your business license and a sales id. Ohh ya and insurance. Hope im not scaring you.

So what I did was invest in a mobile speed light kit I go to peoples houses with I also shoot in public parks.

I would love to have a studio at home but if you do I would recommend researching into your local business laws and make sure your doing it right other wise you might lose your business.

Here is my studio on site at clients houses: (See you can do just as much being mobile)
