Coming in late on this one, I agree that it's just lovely, Terri. I also agree with Chris's and Mary's suggestion that you add a little more rose color in the cheeks, nose and ears. The reference photo looks like it has a wider range of values than the painting shows, particularly in the hair.
The eyebrow on our left in the reference photo is a little fuller on the left side, where it changes direction slightly to follow the line below her temple, and her lower lip in the photo is also a little fuller towards the corner of her mouth than you have it. Both those things seem to add more expressiveness to her face. What a winsome look and what a pretty young girl!
