Does anyone have any tips on how to get better pictures with indoor lighting? I can never seem to get anything decent unless I am right by a window.

oh, what a sweet shot!
if you need any book recs, let me know!
you're absolutely right on track. if you're going to be shooting indoor portraits using only available light, you're gonna want to head to whatever window light you have. the next easiest thing would be to get yourself a hotshoe flash and bounce it. people use ceilings a lot for this. i really love it if there's a room with neutral walls because i like the look of light bounced off a wall behind or beside me.
but with a nice candid shot like you have here, where you're capturing a "moment", things are way more subjective.
for a shot like this, i would just crank up the iso, use my widest aperture to ensure the shutter speed is as fast as possible, then capture the moment and have fun with it in ps. if you have a lot of noise resulting from the high iso, one option is to convert the image to black and white and add some digital grain to mimic the effect of a high iso film.
it's a great shot! happy shooting :)
Wow Greta! That was UBER helpful! I need to practice adjusting the aperture and shutter speed. I tend to just leave it on the auto setting. I need to get out of that habit.
Thanks a ton for the tips! :)
