There were better "Portrait" shots from our little home session with my daughter but this one just had such a good feel to it that I thought it conveyed a mood better.
Not sure if the hand will get some comments about cloning it out but it's there in the shot and thats how I like it, so it's staying.

The light is a little bit harsh, and the hand sticking into the right side of the frame leads my eyes out of the image. Since advanced editing was allowed in this challenge and your background is a solid color you might have been better off burning out her hand.
Looks a bit too NeatImaged to me, plastic textures and loss of fine detail. Lovely smile, but the cropped hand coming from nowhere seems a bit awkward. Shirt is too bright and takes attention away from the face.
You've definatly captured the feeling here, i'm just not so big on the black backround... I mean, could the image have better impact with a brighter, 'gigglier' color?
a good shot, composition though doesn't quite work for me: that hand on the left coming out of nowhere, maybe would have been better to shot in landscape than in portrait for this
