Newbie Studio Setup


 
 
Hello all photography fans. I have been an amateur in photography for a long time and have just recently purchased a canon 20d, and I’m ready to take my photography a step farther in my spear time. I thought I would start with family portraits beginning this upcoming thanksgiving when the family is all together. So I would like to make my own little portable studio in my apartment to take the shots on turkey day.
So I have a two tripods, canon 20d, 580ex flash. I have been reading a lot and taking tons of photos getting to know my camera and learning the flash system. I think I need another flash, say a canon 480 on a tripod shooting into an umbrella, say on the left or right of my subjects and or a reflector on the right or left of my subjects. I don’t know if I should take the flash off the camera or not and put it in place of the reflector. Can I get a little help please. I also need help on the backdrop. I would like to use black my first and need feed back on that please and where can I PURCHASE a cheap back drop that I can use. Does that back drop need stands? THANKS ALL FOR YOUR TIME AND HELP
