The subject in your painting looks many years older than the photograph. This is a common difficulty when painting children. The vertical dimensions, especially of the lower face, need to be very carefully observed. If these areas are too tall compared to the various widths of things, as they have been painted here, then you put years onto the age of the child. She looks like a teenager in the painting, I think.
I also agree with Scott that this is not a photo that will help you learn much or help you create a good portfolio piece. I understand that it is being done as a favor for a friend, though.
