Default papa's sweetheart

This my first attempt at a portrait type of photo so any help would be appreciated I would most like to know if she should have been looking more towards the camera. Also have I over exposed the face.

I am new, so I can't comment much on the technical aspects - I just wanted to say that I love this photo! I love her expression - she looks like a little pixie Great shot! It does bother me that I can't see all of her hair ribbon, but that is very minor. I love it.

Cute shot. I think the expression you got here is great, and certainly better than most camera-aware shots of kids. Looks a little underexposed to me. More light in the eyes would help as well.

certainly there would some nice connection had she been looking at the camera- but the averted eyes match the facial expression very well- so i like it here. i think it's a nice shot, would have liked to see the camera a little lower so you are taking the picture at her eye level instead of from above. and agree with the pp about some light in her eyes. cute little girl!

I like the picture, I would play with it in photo shop to get it to pop a little more. It seems a bit flat or something.I think you have an adorable model.
