Hey Bryn! (Since you'll be the only one reading this for a while) I'll number the pictures to keep them straight, but tell me of all of them, which coloring you think is best. None of these have been photoshopped, they were all just different white balances.
1. This was auto WB 
2. The window was actually above and behind her, so how would you get good light here for her face? I guess that's where that external flash could come in handy...
3. Because of the lighting issue, we turned a lamp on for these ones. You can see it from her hand shadow that it was to my right. This was "indoor" WB (the lightbulb)
4. This was "sunny" WB
5. Indoor WB
6. Auto WB
7. I believe this is AWB too. So, why is the Auto different from both indoor and sunny white balances? Just what is it set to? I've tried to set a manual white balance before too, but it doesn't always turn out. Any suggestions?

8. She was a quick little target which makes for an adventure with indoor + natural lighting. Do you know what you can do to increase shutter speed without upping your ISO past 400. I feel like you either get a grainy look (from high ISO) or a blurry look (from slow shutter speed).
Oh.. to know the secrets of a photographer...
We'll learn together!
