A popular choice for studio lighting is Alien Bees. You want to get the B800’s rather than the B400’s (it’s better to have more lighting than you need than to not have enough). You can always start off with just one light if budget is an issue. Many photographers take great pictures using just one light. You can always add extra lights later as your budget allows.

If your camera has a PC sync outlet, then you can just plug your lights into your camera. Otherwise, you would need to purchase an adapter that fits into your camera’s hotshoe.

Whatever brand you do decide to get, make sure you get strobes (they are also called monolights). You don’t want to get continous lighting. There is a reason why continuous lighting is cheap. They use a lot of power and they get really, really hot. Continuous light works well for product photos, but they are horrible for taking portraits of people. You don’t want your subject sitting under hot lights for an hour or more.
