👍👍👍👍 How did you get her to sit still for the Picture?
Cute girl. Flattering treatment. No doubt this photograph will become all the more precious with the passage of the years. You have a winner here.
Let me please suggest you use the Color Balance tool to reduce the pronounced magenta coloration of her skin tone.
You may also try a black-and-white rendition of this photograph.
Okay, I downloaded and tweaked this headshot. I adjusted the skin tone in Photoshop using Color Balance and the Hue/Saturation adjustment layer for desaturating the red color. B&W seems to do this image more justice than does color.
I used the Gradient Adjustment tool and selected Selenium 1 for the B&W treatment. And I cropped the image slightly while also applying a vignette to make the headshot stand out. I removed a whitish spot (a distraction) on her right shoulder.
Note that the Selenium 1 filter reduces highlights and brings out some tonality in the skin tone.
This way, the image takes on a classic presentation.

Beauty! How did you get her to sit still?
A real cutie. I agree with "Anotherview" plus, if you are using Lightroom do a slight post vignette to the dark side ...Beautiful shot captured the eyes very well great focus. This should be a wall hanger with a slight PP.
Cute! She'll appreciate that shot years from now.
