Photo Sessions in Golden Bay — a memorable way to preserve your Malta adventures with professional photos that go beyond the usual tourist snapshots. For just $193, you and up to five travel companions can enjoy a 90-minute outdoor photo shoot at either Golden Bay or Sliema. Led by Polina Mifsud, this experience offers a relaxed, personalized way to turn your holiday moments into cherished images.
Two things we really appreciate about this experience: First, the focus on candid, genuine moments that capture your true joy rather than stiff poses. Second, the flexibility to change location or extend your session, making it adaptable to your group’s mood and plans. A potential drawback? The tour doesn’t include transport or entrance fees, so you’ll need to arrange your own logistics around the shoot.
This experience suits travelers who want beautiful, professional photos without the hassle of figuring out photography themselves. It’s perfect for families, groups of friends, or even solo travelers craving memorable keepsakes, especially if you value authenticity over staged shots.

Exploring the Experience in Detail
When you book a Photo Session in Golden Bay, you’re setting yourself up for more than just photographs—you’re creating a visual story of your Malta trip. The experience begins with a pre-session consultation, where Polina Mifsud aims to understand your style, preferred location, and wardrobe choices. This step ensures that the final images resonate with your personality and vision.
Locations of Choice: The two main options, Golden Bay and Sliema, offer very different atmospheres. Golden Bay is famed for its sweeping sandy beach, turquoise waters, and dramatic cliffs—perfect for capturing serene, stunning seaside scenery. Sliema, on the other hand, offers a lively, urban backdrop with scenic coastlines, bustling streets, and colorful boats—ideal for more urban, energetic photos.
During the session, Polina focuses on capturing candid, natural moments—laughter, playful interactions, or quiet reflection—rather than stiff, traditional poses. As one reviewer notes, “We loved the way Polina made us feel comfortable, resulting in photos that truly reflect our personalities.” This relaxed approach helps you forget about the camera and simply enjoy your surroundings and company.
Timing and Group Dynamics: The 90-minute duration is generally enough for a variety of shots, including group photos, individual portraits, and spontaneous moments. The package covers up to 6 people, making it a fantastic value for families, friends, or couples traveling together. You’re welcome to switch outfits during the session, adding versatility to your photos.
What To Expect on the Day: The session typically lasts about an hour and a half, during which Polina guides you through different poses and candid shots. The process is fun, often feeling like a mini adventure, with plenty of time to explore your chosen location and find the perfect angles. The relaxed pace allows for spontaneous moments to shine through, which many clients appreciate.
Photo Delivery: Once your session wraps, you’ll receive 150 high-resolution digital images in color-corrected quality within 3-5 business days. You can then select your top 15 images for professional editing, adding that extra polish to your favorites. The digital format makes sharing easy—think social media, prints, or enlargements to frame at home.
Additional Flexibility: If desired, you can request to change the location or extend the session—just communicate your wishes. This adds to the sense that this experience is tailored to your preferences rather than a rigid package.

The Authenticity & Value of the Photoshoot
What makes this experience stand out is the heartfelt focus on capturing real moments of joy, connection, and laughter. Several travelers have commented on how natural their photos felt, with one noting, “Polina’s styling and approach made us forget we were being photographed. We were just having fun.” This emphasis on authenticity means you’ll have photos that truly reflect your holiday spirit—memories you’ll cherish long after your Malta trip ends.
The cost of $193 for up to six people might seem like a splurge compared to self-taken photos, but when you consider the quality, professionalism, and the lasting value of high-quality images, it’s a worthwhile investment. Plus, the photos are far more meaningful than typical souvenirs, offering a tangible way to relive your trip.
Practical considerations: The experience does not include hotel pickup, transportation, or entrance fees. Travelers need to handle their own logistics, which is a small inconvenience but also allows for more flexibility in planning the day around your photoshoot. The session is not suitable for those with mobility issues or heart problems, as outdoor locations and walking may be involved.
