Here's my two cents worth
Hi Kimber -
I'm sure you'll get advice from many people more skilled than I, but I wanted to respond anyway.
First of all, she is a lovely little girl. The pose reminds me of Bougereau (hope I spelled the name right) and the dress is wonderful. The lighting appears to be mainly coming from above, and the effects are very subtle. Because they are so subtle, and the lighting/colors are so gentle, I would beg you to reconsider the idea of the stark darks you are discussing, especially the reddish brown floor. You might want to look at some of the great B's works for inspiration.
