Hi Kim,

I have a couple of reactions to this photo.

First, I would confirm with them that this is in fact a typical recognizable expression for this child. She almost looks as if she is caught in-between expressions.

Secondly, if you attempt this portrait I would be careful of the light just beyond the bridge of the nose. I think I might try and fudge that some how to give a better read. I would lose the bracelet and I might give her hair a little more volume on top.
