If someone took a photo of her without my permission, a photo where she is clearly the focal point then I would be asking why a grown adult (male or female) would find my child so interesting as to want to take a picture of her and why the need to be secretive enough to not bother asking me first.
If it was a case of them finding her 'cute' in an innocent way I would be cautious enough to insist that I appear in the picture with her.

However, apart from common courtesy, there is nothing stopping someone from taking a direct picture of another person in a public place. You may not like it if it were to happen, but by being in a public place, you give others the right to take pictures of you, and the same applies to your daughter.
