Not sure what exactly to shoot on this topic. A smiling face is definitely the safest option but definitely not the only one. The photograph should convey the feeling of happiness... that is what the challenge needs.

thx for nice comment. from the high iso and wide aperture, i suppose it was mostly ambient in the room, lots of windows, with a little portable fill flash bounced on a reflector nearby to add a little contrast. if i were to re-do, i'd cut the overhead light a bit with a scrim and add some more side or back light.
