I am no lighting expert. So I cannot offer up much advice, if any.
You say you want to take a very special photo.
"{I have a very special photo that I'm wanting to take of my daughter,}"

What do yo mean? Do you want a very special effect; or just a high quality keep-sake?
If you are seeking special lighting, shading, effects etc., The UHH Guys and Gals can steer you into a lighting arrangement,

My Gal picked up a $39 set of lights, stands, back-drop and umbrellas. I almost scoffed at a $39 lighting kit!
However she would have the last laugh, because with a Nikon 7100 and a kit lens she has turned out incredible portrait, baby, family and merchandise work.
And she is not opposed to using "AUTO!"

Here in the UHH Forum there are many who enjoy the journey, and some who focus on the destination.

It matters not how you get there, if you get where you want to be.

I am forever impressed by folks that get terrific results with what they have as opposed to the people that are always looking for a piece of equipment to improve their craft.

Good luck with your daughter and your pursuit of a Special photo. I hope you enjoy the time spent creating the shot, and the final results for years to come.

If you are looking for an low cost solution, got to your local hardware store and buy three clamp lights (or buy the Amazon ones below). They come in a couple of sizes and cost around $8 to $12. Buy the larger ones as they are heavier duty and have a bigger reflector which is important. Then buy some high wattage Daylight CFLs like the ones below on Ebay. Do not try to get by with household 22 watt (100 watt incandescent equivalent) from Walmart etc., they won't give off enough light to be really effective. The Ebay ones are 105 watt (400 watt incandescent equivalent) and give you plenty of light to work with.

You can clamp the clamp lights to a chair, bookcase, floor lamp etc. or make a simple tripod out of a broomstick and wood. One hint - the clamps on these lights are OK but not 100% reliable. Once you get the lights set up to your taste secure the clamp in place to its support with duct tape to make sure it does not fall off!

Three lights are ideal as that will give you a main, fill and accent light for under $100 including the roll of duct tape. You can get by with two or one light if cost is a big issue, but three lights gives you a lot more flexibility in planning your lighting.
