Light here is pretty nice. If something, I'd probably move it a bit lower to get more light to her eyes.

The thing that is bothering me the most is the fact that it looks like you have increased the background blur and this is clearly visible around her head. I think you are better of cleaning the background from distracting elements before the shot is taken.

Kids. Are. Tough.

Plenty of light here so I would concentrate on removing the elements that are not your daughter. The red thing, the blanket she is on, even the cute leopard print onesie.

Imagine if this was shot with everything around her being light color tones, creams, whites, etc. With all of the other elements being the same color you would focus in on your daughter's face as the focal point of the image a lot faster.

Here's a trick to helping find the focal point from college.

If you take your image and flip it upside down and then apply a fair amount of blur to it and look at that image what catches your eye first? Is it where your daughter's face is? If so, you got it, if not, then you need to rethink the composition. That includes both positioning of the subject and the color and tonal values of everything else in the frame.

I look forward to seeing more of your work as you continue on your journey.

Cheers!
TJ
