Lighting equipment - need advice

[Lori H]

I am looking at getting some studio lighting. I do the occasional weeding and family portraits. Not looking to spend a whole lot. Wondering if anyone whould mind checking this out and giving me your thoughts. Any advice or help would be GREAT!! Thanks.

The first thing I noticed was the umbrella's are only 33" wide; that's relatively small for portraits. I would look at getting something in the 40" - 50" range.

I can't really comment on the studio lights. I have a strobe setup for portability and budget-friendliness. Haha. Hopefully someone can help you out there.
