I'm relatively new to DSLR photography and I'm focusing on shooting with only natural light..

Would appreciate any ideas or suggestions you guys could offer.

Thanks in advance.

Learn how to use Shutter speed before even taking a snap! hehe

It's difficult to give advice without knowing what you are trying to do and what stuff you have at your disposal
what camera do you have? do you have any reflectors?

Never mind about the cam I checked your profile and saw that you have a Rebel t3i. That cam is good enough to get you any shot, sure there are cameras that do it a better, but that doesn't mean you cannot compete with the big boys! The kit lens in my opinion isn't amazing, but the good thing is you have a prime lens and I do like those, especially for lower light situations. They allow more light in than a telescopic lens (of the same price range) would.

If you are only using natural light you will need some kind of reflector (either a professional one or a large white piece of poster board would suffice) to help you bounce the light back on to the subject to fill and erase bad shadowing.
It's all about practising how to do it from there. find where the light coming from, get your model in position and redirect it with a reflector to fill in dark shadows

By the way I'm a musician, and was very into media and live streaming, and I've heard of you before. The man with the TriCaster hehehe. I envy you and your life!

Hope I've helped

practice and read everything you can find on photography.  Also print out your images.  You can see so much more truth in a print then on your screen. good luck
