The price is quite reasonable when you consider the 70 high-resolution digital images you’ll receive, along with 10 fully edited favorite shots.

The Pre-Session Consultation

While the shoot typically takes place in Sliema or Valletta, the experience provider is flexible—location and duration can be changed upon request. This is a real plus if you want to include scenic spots, beaches, or historic streets in your photos. However, transportation to other locations and entrance fees are not included—so if you plan on shooting at sites like museums or parks with entry costs, you’ll need to arrange that separately.
Duration and Group Size
The 1.5-hour window offers enough time for a relaxed session with multiple outfit changes and varied scenes. The group size is capped at 3, though reviews mention that up to 6 people can be accommodated at a slightly different rate or arrangement. This makes it ideal for small families, couples, or friends, but might be tight for larger groups.
What Can You Expect During the Photoshoot?
Imagine wandering through the narrow, lively streets of Valletta, or lounging on the sun-drenched coast of Sliema, while your photographer captures candid moments of genuine happiness. The focus is on natural, spontaneous shots rather than stiff poses—something that many clients have appreciated.
What’s the Turnaround?
Your collection of images will be delivered digitally via Google Drive within 3-5 business days—a quick turnaround that ensures your vacation memories are fresh and ready to share. Many reviewers have praised the speed, with one saying, “She sent them to us so quickly within 2 days to choose our pictures for editing.”
Value for Money
When considering the price, this experience offers excellent value. You’re getting 70 digital images, including 10 professionally retouched ones, for a reasonable fee. Compared to typical portrait sessions, especially in a picturesque location like Malta, the price is competitive. Plus, the variety of images—group shots, individual portraits, candid moments—means you’ll have a rich visual story of your trip.
Authentic Experiences and Authentic Photos
From reviews, it’s clear that Polina’s approach results in authentic, heartfelt images. One client remarked, “Polina was amazing! She arrived on time and was very patient and professional with us. It was my maternity shoot and the pictures came out gorgeous!” Her ability to make clients feel comfortable shines through in the photos, which feel genuine rather than overly staged.
Additional Tips
- Outfit changes and accessories add variety, so bring some different looks.
- Discuss your preferred style with Polina beforehand to ensure the images match your vibe.
- Plan your locations in advance if you want specific scenic backgrounds.
- Remember, transportation and entrance fees aren’t included, so budget accordingly if visiting popular sites.
Who Should Consider This Photoshoot?
This experience is excellent for families, couples, or small groups wanting a professional yet relaxed way to document their Malta trip. If you cherish candid, natural images that capture the true spirit of your time here, this is a great choice. It’s also perfect if you want high-quality digital photos without the hassle of trying to shoot yourself.
However, if your group is larger than six or you need a photographer for a full-day shoot at multiple locations, you might need to explore alternative options or customize this package. Plus, those planning to visit attractions with entry fees or requiring transportation might want to budget for those extras.
