Hard to go wrong using a cute little girl like that.
Great job.

To make things interesting a ball, pony, puppy
or an unbrella can give a cool side bar to the
composition.

She's so cute, and a great little model. When my daughter was that age she was seldom a willing model...... sulky was more the rule.

Add ball or toy with contrasting colour. These are excellent with small frame.

Be careful to not cut off hands or feet as in #s 1 and 2. Also, get her farther away from the back ground and stay close to her, getting a blurred back ground to help isolate her (notice the crack in the wall, "growing out of her head?).
She's really cute and has a wonderful smile. If she were my model, I'd get real tight on her face! Especially if she's smiling big enough to make the nose crinkle. What a cutie!

I know! I've done the same thing! No worries, though. Practice makes these little, tiny errors go away!

Fill flash might have helped on the second two. It might take several tries to get her eyes wide open, which you want. An off-camera flash with a soft box would be best.

If you do post processing you should try sharpening and brightening the eyes.

Subject to comments above good composition, focus, DOF, and fabulous subject!
