need inspiration pls

I'm doing an outdoor shoot on sunday afternoon.
There is a river and a tree/bushy area.

Does anyone have any examples of outdoor photos in this type of setting?
It is for a middle aged woman, all she told me she wants is an 'outdoor' portrait, so I'm looking for different ideas so I can provide her with a few choices since she was so broad in her expectations.

Thanks
Crystal

I take it that being middle aged, she will be more relaxed with a certain 'softness' in the finished work - nothing too stark, sharp, harsh or contrasty in terms of light, so I imagine you light include other gentle,soft, subtle features in the scene. Can you include in shot, flowing water, soft foliage?

Have her wear soft colors (pastels) and shoot against the rich vibrant greenry and flowers and such. It will give her a glow and be more flattering than wearing white, or dark colors.

If you can, try to stay away form the mid day sun and shoot earlier in the morning or much later in the day.
