Part of about 50 shots that day of the girlfriend in the hope of getting a decent headshot for her. We didn't.

Because the sun was behind her you should use a reflector to get more light on her face. I did that with this headshot of my friend matt where the sun was behind him but we still got great light balance because we reflected the back light onto his face. I used one of those silvery sun blocker things you put in the windshield of a car when you leave it in a parking lot to keep the car from becoming a heater. It worked out really cool.

For other ideas you can also check out my portraits collection.

the gray tones here look really muted - might try adjusting them some to make this pretty face pop more. The hair has some ovedr exposed highights, so not sure how much tweaking you can do.
