Kerry is a woman with shoulder-length blond hair is pictured against a light grey wall. She appears to be looking upward and slightly to her right, with a wide grin that exposes her teeth. Her expression suggests amusement or playfulness. She is wearing a black, possibly knit, cardigan over a black top. A small, delicate necklace is visible. The lighting is somewhat diffused, casting soft shadows and drawing attention to her face. The wall's texture is slightly rough.
