The light looks nice and even, but perhaps a little underexposed. I wish there were some catchlights in the eyes to give them some pop. My biggest complaint is the composition. The top right corner has so much dead space with the grey blanket. The left side of her head is cut off. The bottom left corner -- is that an arm? What's the grey thing next to her on the blanket? it looks like laundry.

I'd like to see the blanket whiter. not sure if it's a color cast from the pink outfit. you should be able to brighten it in post production. try playing a little with the color tones, it just looks a tad flat.

the something under her left arm needs to go also.
