This overlay shows a lot of errors - basically you made her head too big (or hair too small), her nose too long, and you abandon the angle of the head you establish with the eyes - her eyes show her head tilted to our left (like in the image), her mouth and nose as you've drawn them are basically straight up and down. If I had to guess I'd say you're drawing this on a table and your perspective foreshortens the drawing in to something closer to the reference on your screen. But when you look at it squarely it's obviously off. So yeah, get her jaw where it should be and then re-draw the features. At this point it's probably better to start over, unless you can erase the colored pencil well. Good luck!

Also, since this is a gift and not serious practice it's ok to do some tracing or direct comparison with the photo to ensure the the major proportions are there. Nobody's going to care if you held this up to your monitor and made some marks to place the features.
