I’m having a hard time figuring out the gender of my baby bearded dragon. We’ve been calling her a female because that’s what the pet store said. I was told not to trust everything the pet store says so I’m still curious. I’ll include the best photos I could take from the angle she was at. Also a photo of her face if that helps at all.

Babies are hard to tell. Firstly, how old is your bearded dragon(count the ones even before you got your beardie)? You can either wait for it to be like 6 months old or you can try to use the flashlight method. It might not work if your bearded dragon is still a few weeks old(I'm not sure, I'm not an expert but I'm using the knowledge I have). You can put your beardie on a flat surface, use a flashlight and shine it through the tail on the beardie(shine it from the top). If it would be a male the hemipenal bulges would be like a "U" Shape. If its a female, the hemipenal bulge would be more like a square. If I'm late, sorry for keeping you waiting on the answer.
She’s about 3 months old. I looked yesterday and it looked as if she had 3 bumps. I then tried the flashlight method but didn’t really understand what I was looking at.

I checked again and it looked like a square shape. I’m thinking she’s a female. Of course this could change since she’s only about 3 months old. We’ll see
