This response is my first post here, ever!
Renee, what a charming photo! I agree that I would not attempt to add shadow where there is none. Just stick to what you see, keep the edges very soft, and you should be able to capture the charm of the little girl and the unusual pose.
One thing you might try, however, is to edit the photo itself before beginning. To show you, I copied the photo into my editor, and increased the contrast by darkening the darks and lighting the lights. I left the middle tones alone. This was not done to enhance the photo, just to give you another resource in helping you to find where the shadows are. What do you think--is it at all helpful? (I will attempt to attach this photo now, but since I've not done it before, bear with me if it doesn't show up.)
