Inspired by this C.S. Bull image

I like literalisms ...they're fun.

You could try playing her favorite music during the photoshoot.

I like the colours and the composition, the light is good too; her eyes look really unnatural though, which detracts from the image.

This is cute but she looks a bit wary or nervous.

Very cute, nice expression on her face, good color and exposure

The heart that is half-hidden by her head bugs me a little. I'd like her expression to be more lovey-dovey, she's got the Mona Lisa smile going on right now.

Beautiful girl and good idea, but it looks like you dodged her eyes a bit too much.

The background in the bottom right of the photo is getting pretty yellow. If you're going to have a white background on this site, it's gotta be white, white. Since it's an Advanced challenge, you can just mask her head out to select all except her head and then desaturate the yellows in Hue/Saturation.
