Do this throughout life. Don't associate calling her with picking her up. When you do pick her up, do it sometimes for just a second, give her a quick kiss or hug, and let her down again. Then give her a little cheer or say "thank you!" or something to show your happiness. I do that with my boys so that they don't associate being called with being trapped.
Max is 8 and still enjoys playing hard to get even when I want to pick him up for something he really wants -- like getting ready to go out. I don't chase or get excited. I tell him the rest of us are ready and going. As soon as I pivot on my feet, he is ready to jump into my arms.
