WHAT CAN I DO TO MAKE THE PHOTO POP?

I will agree with the fill flash or a reflector to minimize the subject shadows. I will also agree to watch out for objects in the background that appear to be part of the subject. Although in some cases it might be difficult to get everything perfect with the background,it would help you if you used a shallower depth of field.
