You may not do many portraits, but you've done a fine job here capturing her sweetness. Her expression and positioning are engaging. It's hard not to look at this photo, smile, and tilt your head to match hers.

I will say though that there does seem to be a slight motion blur, which I would attribute to your shutter speed being slightly too slow for your focal distance. The side of her face closest to the window also seems a touch hot in terms of exposure. I understand that this is likely to create an acceptable exposure on the other side. For those reasons, as a voter, I'd score this lower.

However, if I were a proud pappa, I'd certainly feel differently about the photo. A proud pappa would see this as their beautiful little girl illuminated with a warm sun glow. You can see her youthful skin and her rosy cheeks. That warm sun that may have blown highlights to a voter also is at the perfect angle to illuminate those rich brown eyes.
