Adorama has 4 budget studio flash kits from $250 -350. Excellent source for all kinds of lighting equipment at a great price for starting out!

Yeah, the Adorama kits are fine. They are actually OEM’d by another company in China and are available cheaper via eBay under different names.
At the least, you should get a monolight and umbrella stand with a good umbrella. Also, a rig for backgrounds and a couple of solid muslins…black for folks with light hair and white for those with black hair.
Maybe green or blue for chromakey if you want to get into post-processing.
BTW, hope you’re doing well. Just thinkin ’bout ya.
