When visiting the historic streets of Valletta or the lively seaside of Sliema, you’ll find a fantastic way to turn your holiday into a visual story — a professional photoshoot with a local photographer. For $187 per group of up to 3 people, you’ll enjoy a 45-minute to 1.5-hour session led by Polina Mifsud, a talented photographer who specializes in capturing authentic moments. The experience is designed to be flexible and fun, offering more than just pictures — it’s a chance to relive your Maltese adventure through fresh, natural images.
One of the things we love most is how this photoshoot breaks the mold of stiff, posed photos. Instead, Polina focuses on candid, spontaneous moments that truly reflect your joy and connection. Whether you’re a family, couple, or solo traveler, you’ll appreciate the relaxed atmosphere and personalized approach, especially during a pre-session chat where your preferences, outfits, and location are discussed. The second highlight? Receiving over 70 high-resolution digital photos — with 10 professionally retouched images — means you’ll have plenty of beautiful shots to cherish.
A possible consideration is that transportation or entrance fees aren’t included. If you’re staying outside Valletta or Sliema, you’ll need to arrange your own transport. Also, this experience might suit travelers seeking authentic, high-quality souvenirs rather than mass-produced trinkets. It’s perfect if you want to capture your trip’s real essence rather than just take home another magnet or postcard.
This photoshoot is ideal for anyone eager to document their Maltese adventure with genuine, heartfelt images. It’s especially suited for those who value professional guidance and personalized service, and who want to leave Malta with images that truly reflect their experience.

A Personalized Approach from the Start
Your experience kicks off with a pre-session consultation. This is your moment to share your vision — whether you want a relaxed walk through Valletta’s alleys, a sunny shot on Sliema’s promenade, or a combination of both. Polina loves to discuss your preferences, wardrobe choices, and desired vibe, so you’ll arrive feeling prepared and confident.
The Location Choices
The beauty of this experience is its flexibility. Valletta’s narrow cobblestone streets, baroque architecture, and harbor views make beautiful backdrops, but Sliema’s seaside and lively promenade also provide stunning scenery. You might choose to incorporate iconic landmarks or quieter, lesser-known spots — the choice is yours.
The Session Itself
Expect about 45 minutes to 1.5 hours of relaxed photo-taking. Polina’s style leans toward capturing authentic moments — laughter, interactions, and natural poses, rather than stiff, posed shots. This approach results in images that truly reflect your personality and the vibe of your trip.

Authenticity and Value: What Real Travelers Say
Reviews highlight how much travelers appreciate the personal touch and professional skill of Polina. Caroline praised her by saying, “Polina has such beautiful photos and was very warm and welcoming. Even our 3-year-old daughter enjoyed the process and received a small gift at the end.” This suggests that the experience is not only of high photographic quality but also genuinely warm and family-friendly.
Another traveler shared, “The photos exceeded my expectations, and I was able to relax during the shoot. It was a fun walk around the city, and I now have wonderful memories to cherish.” It’s clear that this experience offers more than just pictures — it’s a fun, memorable part of your trip.
Why This Matters
The quality of the photos and the personalized approach make this experience stand out. We loved the way Polina captures spontaneous, joyful moments that often go unnoticed in traditional tourist snapshots. These images, often candid, allow you to look back and truly remember how you felt during your trip.
The Value for Money
Given that you’ll receive over 70 high-res digital images and 10 retouched favorites, the price of $187 is quite reasonable. It’s an investment in lasting memories that surpass simple souvenirs. For families or couples, it’s a shared experience that adds to the joy of visiting Malta.
Breaking Down the Experience: A Closer Look
The Itinerary and Location Choices
Unlike guided tours that follow a rigid schedule, this photoshoot is more flexible.

Limited to up to 3 people included in the price, the session is intimate enough for genuine interaction and relaxed shots. If you have additional guests, a small extra fee applies. This setup ensures personal attention and a comfortable atmosphere, ideal for capturing authentic moments.
The Photographer’s Style and Technique
Polina’s focus on candid moments means you’ll probably find yourself laughing, strolling, or simply being yourselves, rather than trying to hold a perfect pose. This approach results in images that feel spontaneous and natural, which we believe are the most meaningful.

As with most professional shoots, transportation and entrance fees are not included. If you wish to venture outside Valletta or Sliema, you’ll need to plan accordingly. Also, no meals or drinks are covered, so bring your snacks or water if needed.
