Aww, she's a cutie, and it's a sweet snapshot.

Not wild about the angle - looking right up her nose isn't the most flattering. The dead-center composition isn't working, either. Have you read up on "the rule of thirds"? Also, using onboard flash tends to give pretty harsh lighting. I'm assuming you're using the pop-up flash - when needed for fill, you can dial down the power and/or diffuse it with something as simple as a tissue taped over it. Better still, try natural light - put her near a window that doesn't have direct sunlight coming in, and use something like a white posterboard to reflect some light on the opposite side.

That being said...you're lucky to have such an adorable model to practice on! Keep shooting and posting!

Do you have anything specific you want help with?

I know the lighting is not right but this is my recrop with the rule of thirds
