James Bain was born in Paisley Scotland, came to Brisbane, Australia in 1865. He opened his studio in Toowoomba in 1901, in a partnership with a William Beit. He sold out his share after a few years and went to Sydney to work for the Sydney Morning Herald. That might have been around 1910. So the child was photographed by J.Bain some time between 1901 and 1910
Looking through these notices below, I see the Bain Studio operated in Toowoomba till 1919. Perhaps you might find a few more clues to Eileen.

Hi janilye, It does look promising, though I haven't found a relationship between Maurice Brown and my great grandfather Thomas Brown yet. I have uploaded Eileen's photo as suggested by ngairedith. Thanks
well, skyoung as you can see, it hasn't attached :(
by the way, who were the Dorrington's and Brown's of Greymouth?
I tried attsaching the photo to my post but it wouldn't work. Just got a blank web page after clicking on Submit. Any ideas?
the photo you tried to upload is probably too large
however, you shouldn't have seen a blank page but one that said it's unavailable at this time or similar wording OR the least you would have seen is the wording already in you post as per above
Try a smaller photo to see if that is the problem
I have reduced the photo by 50% and still will not upload, still get a completely blank page, no wording, no scroll bars, nothing. Thanks for your help anyway.
have sent you a private message
Testing
I think I have figured out that baby Eileen is Eileen Alice Bennett (b. 30 Oct 1895, Queensland), father James Frederic Bennett, mother Alice Ellen Bennett (nee Brown).
