Honestly, she has beautiful blue eyes and they stand wonderfully as is. Adding eye pop to any of her photos would be over-kill IMO. If you want the eye to focus more on her face and less on that bright romper I would bring down the saturation on the romper a bit. You can use a mask so that you're only adjusting the color of the clothing. If you need a more detailed tutorial let me know what program you're using and I'll do my best.
Hi Stormie, thanks for the advice! I am using PhotoStudio 5.5. I don't know much about editing or photography, for that matter, but I enjoy playing around with both. I would love a more detailed tutorial if you have the time! Many thanks!
@ Nod, thank you so much for taking the time to respond but I honestly have no idea what your instructions mean. :-) I am completely ignorant to the terminology but you have given me something to research. Many thanks!
You could also play with the coloring of the photo. I am not familiar with PhotoStudio but in Photoshop, you can isolate certain parts of the photo with the lasso tool and mess around with the colors/brightness/contrast, etc of a specific part of the photo.
If you have Photoshop, you could add a little white (10%-15%) to her irises with the paintbrush tool. I wouldn't overdo it as the lighting of the main image wouldn't support 'strong' lightening. Having said that, this is a great picture!
A guy on here that goes by Jinx did a tutorial a few months back about eye edits. If you can do a search for him or his post, it would give you want you want.
Tweets ahoy!

As MattyB said, I made a Photoshop tutorial for just this thing, but I can't say how well it would translate to your software. Here's the link, in case any of it is of use:
