This is a shot featuring none other than my sister, Kelsey. It was a spur of the moment type of shot, only got in 2. She thinks the braces make her looks stupid, but for a shot of a normal 12 year old I think it adds to the picture.
The lighting is natural and a bit dark, but in my opinion nice for a shot like this. No cropping but the levels, brightness, and contrast were adjusted.

You have chosen a very nice setting. The wooden fence is the finishing touch in the photo. Your model would do well on the front of a magazine although I think that her face is a little underexposed. Maybe flash fill could improve this.
I don't know the magazine but this seems about right for the title. There's space for a logo at top, that's a plus. A little harder would be cover copy because of the brightness of the light coming between the columns but it could be done.
