Sweet shot not taken in that "sweet" light (before and after in comment)

I got a referral from some great people that brought this sweet family to me. Sometimes your clients aren't able to do a session during the sweet light and what do you do about it? You probably find open shade. What do you do if you don't have that? well you deal with it.. Paint with Light is what they say a photographer does right? This was taken close to 11 am and the sun was fairly high. Anything close to high noon is typically thought of as the worst flattering light. So I looked in the sky and found the sun, I turned their backs to it and allowed the sun to kiss their hair. I wanted to create some depth between them and the fence for that blur. I metered off their skin and set up my aperture and speed for a well metered shot. I knew that in post processing I could simply run Florabella Collection's Pandora from LuxeII I believe and it gave it that sweet color and luminous appearance. This is the final result.
Taken with a Canon 5D MkII
50mm f/1.2
at 1/1600 sec at f/2.5
