Try sitting on the floor with her and letting her smell you and walk on you. Play with her with a toy on a stick while you are on the floor.

Honestly, some kittens have very shy personalities, but the more you handle her in a gentle, loving way while she's this young, the quicker she will acclimate to being held and loved on.
