This pose struck me right away too. Gosh, she's pretty. But I think there might be a few things that will cause problems later on.

The tangent of the nose and the back of the chair will probably be easy to address with some space. You might want a bit more lighting to give you a cast shadow here and there, but I don't know. Others may disagree but I think even lighting on a little girl is nice.

Upswept hair on a child is sometimes hard, because their hair is so fine that what you really get is a skullcap effect, with a poof somewhere crown-wise. Then fuzzy bits and baldspots are a challenge to address delicately.

The dress bunches and folds in unsubtle breast-like patterns. Next time she sits, you may want to snug it a bit. Even like a fashion photographer - if you have to use masking tape to make it fit her ribcage better, the sheen and the folds of the fabric will be pretty.

Her left hand is missing a few digits. Maybe you could extend it a bit. The gesture of the hand is precious.

I just love the nonchalant pose. She looks like a beauty queen.
