Jean Kercheval from Kercheval Photography on the importance of an up-to-date headshot, getting glamorous and how Pinterest can help with a photo shoot.

Jean is a personal branding and women’s contemporary portrait photographer at Kercheval Photography. She has been in her current business for the last seven years but has been taking portraits of people for over 25 years.



Before that, she worked in mental health care, which she believes brings a sense of connection and sensitivity to her work.



The goal of her portraiture is to put people at ease, draw out their authenticity, produce beautiful work, and have fun! People tend to come to their photoshoot nervous and leave with high confidence, saying “hey, that was so much fun!”.



She has been published in various magazines for her creative shoots and received multiple awards for her portraiture through an international photo group called the Portrait Masters Association. In 2020, she also published a personal passion project called the Quarter Life Crisis Project, a digital magazine with photos and interviews of 21 young people discussing a time in their life of challenge, change and angst.



She doesn’t know yet what her next passion project might be, but is always looking for inspiration wherever she goes and with the people she meets. Jean loves what she does and wants to show everyone the beauty she sees in each and every one of them.

About Erin Keam

Erin Keam is a Kiwi living in Seattle who works with women solopreneurs to create their ideal life and achieve their vision. She combines her 23 years’ experience mentoring and being mentored in the recovery field with her career in marketing, film, media, TV, advertising, real estate and customer service (and a passion for fashion) to be a trusted source for solutions to what is getting between you and the life you want.

She offers two paths to progress. One is her unique LifeStyle Statement sessions, in which women uncover their personal themes which are distilled into a one-of-a-kind Statement which can then be taken to every area of their life from wardrobe to relationships to their business to their career and their home.

The other are her “pressure relief” mini-intensives where the focus is on moving closer to your vision through exploring and tackling personal and marketing issues which are keeping you stuck, whether clarifying your website’s message to your clients, looking at how you spend your time and money, decluttering (mental and physical), dressing as who you want to be, assessing the first impression your media and home office make on your ideal clients and creating action plans to get you the life you want.

When she’s not doing this, she’s interviewing women entrepreneurs on her podcast Conversations About Closets With My Closet 1000 Friends, about what they do, why and what they love about it, with one or two questions in there about clothing (there’s that passion for fashion!). Female-identifying (or non-binary) and want to be a guest? Book here!

You can find out more on her website erinkeam.comShe would love to connect with you on Instagram or LinkedIn or Facebook.

Hey, Koa Club members! Something getting between you and your goals? Often, all we need is someone to hold space while we talk through what’s keeping us stuck and the solution presents itself. Book a Talk it Out Call here with Erin. If you want an action step, she’ll suggest one.
