Olena,
Pray for an overcast or rainy day (not too rainy). The color is more saturated and forms are softer, not hard edged.
Also, it is better to shoot in the early morning or late afternoon (my favorite). Both times will give you that really lovely back lighting, and the afternoon light is especially appealing and warm. It is the favorite light, for good reason, of the cinema photographers. It is called the 'golden light'.
Make sure you bring a reflector along with you to bounce back the light into the faces and figures to reduce the contrast.
Also, rouge the lips and cheeks of your subjects. It never looks fake in the final painting.
