Hey I’m Lara!

A Photographer and Travel Blogger from the sunny island of Malta! I love exploring new places (both on land and beneath the surface) and capturing them on camera. After several years of exploring the tiny island I call home and documenting it all, I now travel across the world to discover the beauty that other countries have to offer and share all the details to help you create memories that will last a lifetime. When I’m not travelling, I help people capture magical moments in Malta by offering my photography services and expertise as a well-informed local. If you’re passionate about travel adventures, the sea and sunsets, you’re in the right place!

She'll make sure to get your best angles with all your clothing in order (no bra straps out of place), and she will offer tips on poses to make your photos even more magical. The best part of the experience, though, is spending time with a friendly local who will proudly show you some of the most beautiful corners on the island. Lara has inspired me to come back again soon to see even more!

The best decision I made in Malta was booking this activity! Lara is a super experienced and talented photographer and she knows the best local spots to take viral photos!! Well If that’s doesn’t sound persuasive enough… let me tell the truth. I’m a full time travel blogger with 1.4M followers worldwide. I have to say her work is really beyond my expectations. I sent some of the photos to my team and they are also impressed by the work. And more importantly, Lara is super friendly and caring. What she brought was not only good photos but unforgettable experience.

Lara Jayne goes above and beyond to make your experience just special ✨ I very much highly recommend Lara Jayne and her photo experiences! Lovely shoot, amazing location and incredible photographer/person 🤗✨

I travel blog as a hobby and this was by far one of my best experiences in all the countries I have visited. Lara was excellent. She is very warm, friendly and a true professional. She knows how take excellent photos with her camera and drone. The drone shots are truly magical and I can't wait to return to Malta and book a photoshoot with Lara again. She knows the Island inside out and a photoshoot with Lara is an opportunity you would not want to miss. I highly recommend.

Lara was absolutely phenomenal! I had scheduled this photo shoot months ahead of time and she maintained constant contact with planning. I had several special requests and she was more than happy to accommodate. She took us to some wonderful spots where we had the most scenic pictures, and the addition of the drone footage made the experience even more fantastic.

Lara is such a great photographer and guide! She even picked me up at my airbnb to go to the location which I actually loved because we got to chat about Malta, travel, etc. She has great recommendations on where to go and shots to take. I’m so excited to see how the photos came out! She gave me previews throughout the shoot and loved them so far! Highly recommend booking with her. More than worth the money. Thank you Lara 🙂

Beyond her skills, Lara's friendly and accommodating nature makes the entire experience enjoyable. She knows how to direct clients, ensuring the best possible outcome. Without a doubt, Lara is a true professional, and her amazing photos speak volumes about her talent. I highly recommend her for any photography needs!

Lara is incredible! Everything was so thoughtfully planned from the timing of the shoot (woke up at 6.30 am to get the beach to myself and beat the heat - the drone shots turned out amazing!) to the locations (I let Lara pick and she chose Ghajn Tuffieha, which was gorgeous). I’m not naturally good at posing for photos but Lara made me feel very comfortable. She is extremely friendly and personable, and this is a great way to see Malta through the eyes of a local. She is very detail-oriented and gives you all the information you need upfront. Would definitely recommend!

I absolutely loved my experience with Lara! She was extremely sweet and friendly. The whole time she was very attentive and allowed me to take a look at the pictures as we went to make sure I liked it. She was also very patient and retook shots anytime I asked. I felt extremely comfortable with her and when I asked her to direct me, we had so much fun thinking of creative poses. She always made sure I looked my best and helped me fix my hair, clothes etc when necessary. Unfortunately there was bad weather so we could not use the drone to take aerial pictures, which was disappointing but not her fault. Overall it was such an amazing experience! I would recommend this to anyone traveling to Malta because it is such a beautiful location - a very worth it photoshoot!

Sarah

Lara was so great! I usually hate taking photos but she made it so easy and was super helpful with poses. And she knew all the best spots to get the nicest shots! I really love how they turned out. I highly recommend this experience if you want gorgeous photos!

Natalia

Lara is a joy to work with. Very nice, positive, creative, kind, talented and friendly person. She gave me the once in life time experience of my life. From cliff diving, amazing photos and drone videos, seafood restaurant, tried the local snacks and many more magical experiences. I felt so comfortable with her from the start. Thank you so much Lara for giving me one of the best memories of my life. I’ll forever keep it in my heart. 😍

Josephine

Lara was exceptional! She exceeded our expectations. My husband and I were on our honeymoon, Lara picked us up and spent so much time with us by directing our shoot and really making sure she got the lighting and background correct. Lara is a local, so very knowledgeable in Malta. Many places we went were not crowded and had some hidden gems. She offered recommendations on where to go as a tourist even. Personable and just all around lovely lady. Keep it up, you have a natural gift.

Andrea

I highly recommend this photoshoot because Lara is a real enthusiast. Attentive, considerate, very considerate to our expectations. We were shown a glimpse of the photos and they're amazing! Lara was able to make us comfortable and found a perfect spot that looked like us…she was able to capture the authenticity of the present moment… the nature so beautiful and wild… Besides, Lara didn't hesitate to spend more time than we had planned, despite the late schedule and the tiredness of a big day of work. Thank you so much Lara, this moment shared with you was magical. We wish you all the happiness and success ❤️❤️❤️
