Mary,
This is a lovely painting of a very pretty young lady, and I like the way you've rendered her skin and especially that hair, which can be tricky. Achieving the right age in a child can be quite difficult, though. Looking at the reference photo and the last image you posted side by side, I think the chin is still too full and mature looking. Also the eyes are larger and the eyebrows in your painting are too arched, again making her look older. Similarly her mouth is more of a cupid's bow in your painting. Her hairline is lower in the reference, which makes her forehead look a bit wider. And the back of her head is a bit fuller in your photo. Bringing up the chin and lowering the top of the head and therefore the hairline would probably make her more proportionately sized to the rest of her body in the painting, too.
Her shoulder is also higher in the photo than in the painting; the top of her shoulder is close to the same plane as her chin in your reference. That would make her arm look longer and more in keeping with the rest of her. Measuring the relative sizes with a pencil or brush can be really helpful as you block in your painting.
Back to the age issue, if you covered the chin and the eyebrows I think you'd see that she comes across younger and thus closer to your reference. Often just obscuring the suspected problem area in a picture and seeing whether that solves the difficulty can be quite helpful. Another trick I use is to turn both the photo and painting upside down; it's amazing what will pop out at you that way.
Please post what you end up doing with the painting. Hope this has helped! You do such nice things with a paint brush that I'd like to see what else you come up with.
