Sure, I could go in and try to catch her in her office but I have no idea what I'd do with those photos; it's just not my style.

Please rethink this approach. For starters, by going to her office and photographing her next to a window, you'd probably get much better shots of her face and figure without the squinty eyes, harsh lighting, messy hair and the gigantic red inflated shirt. Then go and compose a beautiful photo of your/her favorite natural setting and combine the photos...i.e., paint it into the background.
The great outdoor backgrounds of the Old Masters were done separately...the model posed in the studio where the light was controlled. The background was painted in separately to create a mood and enhance the figure.
Here is a painting that Sir Thomas Lawrence did and he did NOT paint or have the model pose outdoors.
