Hi and welcome to PSG.

Are you wanting someone to do this edit for you or are you wanting someone to instruct you on how to do this for yourself?
 
I believe that's a job for the Clone Stamp tool. Should be a fairly easy fix.
 
Yeah, Larry. It's getting hard to get responses form the OP's.



I would suggest using the Clone Stamp Tool as well.
If you have a higher resolution image, I would suggest using it instead of the one you posted.

Select your Clone Stamp Tool and lower your fill to about 75%. Zoom in close.
Sample close to where your working and sample often.

Work slowly. Work the tool up and down, side to side, or parallel to the area you're removing. Did I mention to sample often!

I made a new layer and with a soft low opacity brush painted over the shadow, sampling often. Finish with a little noise to match the original.

Yeah, I use some Brush Tool work as well..... I thought the shadow in the hair and on the arm needed to go as well.

I agree with both Sam and hawkeye. I would personally try it with both tools at once. Or use one then the other and see which one works better for you. There are a number of ways to do the same ting in Photoshop, one of the things that makes it a great editing software for photos and pixel-based images.
 
Good advice from everyone above about getting rid of the shadow.

The one thing that I would add is that from a photographic POV, you would have a much nicer portrait of the young lady if you hadn't overexposed her blouse (or you sorta-kinda fix it in PS like I tried to do ... but it came out a bit harsh), and if you would crop the image much more closely to get rid of a lot of the extraneous background. IMHO, all that background doesn't contribute to the real purpose of the image: A portrait. A "sense of place" is often nice in a portrait, but there's way too much in the original, so one shouldn't be timid about cropping.
