Well, I followed your directions!!
I found a window with light similar to what was in my dining room since I had done that so many times and tried to follow your rules from our little adventure.
That third one was one that had no intentional set up, she just looked back at me and I snapped her picture, which led to the idea of taking more in better light. I just happened to like the hair up (even though it was wet from playing in the snow). I figured you wouldn't like that one.
The first image is very much an expression I have seen from her a million times, but since this portrait really isn't for her, but my portfolio rather, I am more concerned with the best source.
