I caught her off guard with this shot. I've got plenty of smiles from her anyways. Any ideas on improvements?

Adorable little girl! I'd suggest getting more light in her face. It's so shaded I notice everything else about the shot, including everything in the background, before her face. I like that she's a little off center, but the rest of the stuff piled up by the wall is distracting.

Can we see some with the smiles you mentioned? As Saralonde mentioned, a bit too much shadow on her face. I realize it was a grab shot and you did the best you could under the circumstances.

Great shot! Thanks for posting it. Don't give up on your black and white efforts. Just be prepared to pump in a little more fill light into those shadow areas.

Now that one is lovely!
