Your budget is too low for a semi professional look, unless you're really skilled. But here's a suggestion.

Get a powerful on camera flash and mount it on a tripod by using a slave unit or extension cable to the cameras hotshoe.

You will need to shoot this into a small umbrella, again get a clamp and umbrella from a good camera supplier.

You're going to be working at a low aperture so depth of field will be a problem so make sure you're focusing spot on and have a good lens.

For videos the building lights will do the trick, just bounce them off the cieling not the walls as suggested.

This will get you a reasonable lighting and for around $700, but it's not ideal and will not impress a model. Think of what she thinks of you as she walks into your studio. This thought is going to stick in her head and show on her face as she opens her legs.
