Or you might just realize that a photograph is an event related in time, and you can not return to that moment because it is gone. Over all I feel the photographer captured the fleeting moment between two people just fine. It is a moment between the emotive respons of two people bound up in the transient event.
Or more simply this is not a still life, "Should I move the pear, it doesn't quite balance with thee apple and banana, hummmmm, what to do for a better capture?"
I think I agree with you. For Natural Light & Natural Beauty Commissions of all genres (in this case, Boudoir & Art Nude), the art lies mainly in capturing the emotion in the moment. For other genres, there may be lots of options for artistic interpretation and reinterpretation in post processing.
