I specialize in personal branding photography for women entrepreneurs as well as creating beautiful women's portraiture for my client's more personal use. My style brings out the authentic and expressive side of my subject. I guide all my clients through their photo shoots, which are comfortable and fun and we always get great results! My studio is in Lake Forest Park and I'd love to hear your ideas about how you'd like to be photographed.

What I like to do when I am not building my business
More photography! Plus watching movies with my husband at home, RV traveling, hanging out with friends and family, reading fiction when I make the time.
-----------------------------------------
What I love about running my business
Connecting with other people, helping women overcome their fears and vulnerability of being being photographed, helping women see their own beauty and helping them to finally feel "seen" and unique, and being able to use my creativity to help others shine.

My favorite Product or service that I offer
My favorite service that I provide is creating photoshoots for women, one on one, either for personal branding for entrepreneurs or for beautiful personal portraits. Typically I prefer to do these types of shoots in my studio, but I also travel off-site for photoshoots occasionally. I capture the authenticity of each woman, especially in expression and guided natural posing, focusing on her and her message and intended audience, even if the shoot is just for herself (a great reason for a photoshoot - to finally celebrate oneself for a change!). Of course the photoshoot leads into gorgeous images which I then offer as products and I love to sell albums or matted prints to my clients, or sometimes they just prefer to use the digitals, especially if we do a personal branding photoshoot for their business.

Testimonial
"What a fantastic experience! Jean really understood what I was trying to achieve with my photoshoot and delivered stunning photos! She made me feel at ease in front of the camera and was amazing from start to finish! I will definitely work with her again."- Kristin
"I am not only thrilled with my photos from Kercheval Photography, but also amazed at the ease of the entire professional branding and photoshoot experience with Jean. She is a kind individual and fantastic listener with a definite gift for calming nerves. I highly recommend Jean and would work with her again in a heartbeat!"- Lisa
"I happen to be one of the most notoriously non-photogenic people on the face of the planet, so I feel rather strongly compelled to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Jean for her artist's eye and lens that successfully coaxed a genuine smile long enough to capture the true essence of my inner light shining through to the surface. At the end of our photoshoot, there were many beautiful images to choose from which made it quite difficult for me to decide on a single favorite! Honestly, I've never had that problem before. It is wonderfully refreshing to be able to look at a picture of myself and feel delighted by what I see. Two thumbs up! - Elizabeth
