I would like to take some studio quality portraits of my grandchildren. Can anyone recommend the "basic" studio equipment required to take descent photographs of children such as flash units, backgrounds, softboxes etc. Any help would be much appreciated.

To piggy-back on your question... if I may? I am not a professional but enjoy snapping pictures and would like to have a little studio for the same purpose you listed (photos of friends and family). Is there a company that supplies a decent (not too expensive) intro lighting kit? Since I have no intention of doing this for money I don't think I need "professional/industri​al grade".
Thank you posting this question. I hope you don't mind me adding to it. (If so I will delete my post).

Go to B&H photo website and type in Scott Kelby lighting, he has three different packages set up on their. The first is a basic kit and a great starter kit.
