Congrats on your first break in!
Window light can be very rewarding, but in general can be very tricky, too.
I like it in general.
My primary nit is about your vantage point. As a general rule the lower the person is the higher you go. Full height - below the waist; upper torso - eve level; sitting - a head or two above, etc. Also, she doesn't look like a small girl, which is an additional incentive to go higher.

Thanks for the tips Nik......
I'll take that into consideration on the next shoot...
I'll also be tinkering with rim lighting as well.
Much to learn :-)
This is very nice! I love the simplicity. A good example of "less is more."
