What are my best options! HELP!

I am a beginner photographer and have a recently purchased Nikon D5100. I bought the kit lens (18-55mm) with it as well.

I am helping a friend out with some portraits. They know I'm a beginner and aren't expecting unbelievable quality, nonetheless, I myself want decent quality photos.

Like stated, the only lens I own is a 18-55mm.So what are the best settings and options for setting up my camera for single portraits of people and a few group shots? I am going to say mainly outdoors for this situation.
So how should I set up my camera?
THANK YOU!!!
