Overcast days are the best days to do natural light portraits because on the soft and even light. When you take portraits on overcast days have the person look up a little or use something to reflect the light onto their face. The best way to take a portrait indoors on a sunny day is by a window with the subject facing the window. The atmosphere can have a lot to do with the photo as well. As long as the lighting is right, taking a photo of a person in a rainy atmosphere can be very nice. At a sunset hour your portrait photos could come out nice as well. Usually you could just keep it simple and use any soft and even light that is already in the room. Taking photos means to make it simple for the shoot and fix imperfections later. Contrast is very important when shooting portraits. Lamp light mixed with natural light can also make good lighting.
