What would be the right photography studio equipment for me?
My studio will either be 12′-9″x11′-8″ or 11’5″-10’8″.
This is my first studio equipment purchase and I’m not sure what would be my best option so I thought I’d give this a try.
I don’t know what wattage bulb would be right, what type of umbrella’s would be best, or if I should use flash lights or continuous lighting for example.
Thanks for your help!

Recommend flash not continuous – gives you more option over controlling the ambient/flash balance.
For a small studio, around 250W/s would do (though get as powerful as you can afford).
You may also want to consider battery operated speedlight flashes, if you want to branch out to do location work as they are portable & lightweight.
