Earlier this month, I had the pleasure of photographing the inspiring Laura Larner, a former lawyer turned life coach, at Bonny Moon in Grand Cayman. Laura, the founder of Your Paradise Life Cayman, is on a mission to help women navigate midlife with more ease, fulfillment, and contentment. Through her one-on-one coaching and in-person workshops, Laura empowers women to embrace this transformative phase of life with confidence and clarity.
The Setting: Boony Moon, Grand Cayman
Boony Moon provided the perfect backdrop for Laura’s branding shoot. Nestled in the heart of Seven Mile Beach, Grand Cayman, this tranquil location radiates calm and creativity—a reflection of Laura’s coaching philosophy. The beachy vibes, soft natural light, and peaceful atmosphere set the stage for a series of portraits that captured Laura’s approachable, yet professional essence.
The shoot took place just before one of Laura’s signature workshops, and the energy of the space was palpable. From vision board workshops to transformative coaching sessions, Laura’s work is all about creating a supportive environment for her clients, and this shoot was no exception.
Capturing Laura’s Brand
Laura’s brand is all about making midlife manageable and meaningful. Her tagline, “Making midlife more manageable, fulfilling, and contented,” was a guiding principle for this shoot. We wanted to highlight her warmth, wisdom, and the sense of possibility she brings to her clients.
During the shoot, I captured a series of images that highlight Laura’s approachable and genuine personality. We took photos around the bar and out on the beach, making the most of Boony Moon’s beautiful setting. I also photographed Laura at the start of her workshop, showcasing her in action as she connected with clients and guided them through meaningful conversations.
