So when you take photos from further above you have to make her look further down, so the eye is free, and the angle on her mouth may even convey a smile.
You „just“ need to learn to pose the eyes correctly which is quite some work.

Good luck with your beautiful model.

Thank you, that is excellent advice.
I am finding eyes a "challenge" but as you quite rightly say it makes a big difference.
