Cherub
There is no doubt she is a lovely little cherub. With a face like that who could not love her. I like the dark background it works well with her blond hear. Her expression is pleasant and natural, I’m glad she does not have a forced smile.
This was taken with an on camera flash which creates a harsh flat light. If she is like most children you can’t get her to sit still long enough to set up a glamour head shot. This picture was taken at the strobe of the moment but if you are going to do portraits of anyone particularly children you need to move the flash off the camera and bounce the light off a large white surface. Or better still if you don’t have a studio setup use window light with fill reflectors.

I believe I did too much post processing and as a result her fash is washed out. The flash was on camera but bounched off the ceiling. We were in a waiting room, waiting the birth of my first grandchild. Madison is my daughter-in-law’s niece. I’ve sent you a less post worked version.

The child, for all intents and purposes is likely quite cherubic. The picture, especially with the dark backround, comes off as (and I speak for myself only) actually a bit frightening.
