Photographing by window light is very easy.
Here's the standard formula: For people of this age you want the light to fall fairly frontally on their faces with the typical ratio of three-quarters of their face in the light and one quarter in shadow. So, set your tripod up with the window behind you, but not directly behind. You want the light to come over your left shoulder. Set the people up in front of you and fire off a hundred or so shots. That ought to do it.
