Angie...a Junior student of our school. She's working part-time as a model. I have seen her portfolio and I am amazed at the many persona that she can project in front of the camera.
I told her about this shoot and she brought a dress that went along with the theme. I borrowed the other props from the activity coordinator of the school.

Wow, I'm not sure I can find much to improve on here, but I'll just give you whatever I have.
Generally, I find your work to be wonderful and full of emotion though usually it seems a bit more melancholy than the image here.
As for this particular image, I think it's a wonderful, bright and happy shot. The pose, the colors, the hat and everything add to the cheery mood. It's evident that the model is enjoying her work and I would imagine the photographer is too. She's a lovely girl and that really comes through here. Well done.
I have a few suggestions. Please keep in mind that they are only minor and you may have deliberately chosen otherwise, but I have my opinions. I love her smiling expression, but I think I'd like to see a version with her looking right at the camera, engaging the viewer. Her face seems just a bit bright, especially on her forehead, maybe a bit more diffusion of the light would have helped there. Also, I'm guessing that you composed it with all the space on the right side for some text, but I think I'd like it a lot more as a vertical without all that space.
Difuse flash, I think the brightness on the forhead is a bit too strong but perhaps it does give the model a bright happy look. A unbrella reflector would correct that nicely I think.
