Don't know if you've made the big purchase yet, but I figured others might see your post and want an answer too.
Any Canon camera in the Rebel line (T5i, T3i, SL1) would suit your needs. I'd suggest a 50mm f/1.8 lens to start with. It's a great lens and super affordable.
If for some reason you're a Nikon person (it's like being a cat or dog person), Nikon D5100, D5200, D3100, or D3200 are basically the Nikon equivalent to the Canon Rebels. Again I would suggest a 50mm to start with.
I personally use Canon, but I also use Nikons at work. Either will get the job done.
Hope this helps people!
