September 12, 2025By 0

You’ve booked your flights, picked the cutest outfits, and you’re ready to live your Mediterranean dream in Malta. 🇲🇹 But here’s the thing—Malta is a ridiculously photogenic island. We’re talking colourful fishing boats in Marsaxlokk, golden limestone streets in Valletta, turquoise waters at the Blue Lagoon, and sunsets that will literally stop you in your tracks.

Now imagine leaving Malta with just a bunch of blurry selfies and awkward stranger-taken shots. Doesn’t sound too great doesn’t it? 👀 That’s where I come in. Hi, I’m Lara ✨

Here’s why hiring me as your professional photographer in Malta will be the best decision you make on your trip.

Capture Malta's Magic like a Local

Malta is small, but it’s packed with hidden corners that most travelers totally miss. Because I live here (I’m Maltese by the way!) and am constantly exploring, I know exactly where to take you for those jaw-dropping shots—whether it’s a lesser-known alleyway in Mdina, the perfect cliffside lookout, or that dreamy golden-hour beach spot.

When you book a photoshoot with me, you’re not just getting a photographer—you’re getting an insider guide to Malta’s most magical backdrops apart from a very knowledgeable local with all the tips you need to make your trip truly unforgettable. This is not just a photoshoot, but an experience to truly immerse yourself in all things Malta.

No more awkward selfies!

We’ve all been there: propping your phone on a rock, sprinting into the frame, only to get 50 shots of… nothing usable 😅

When you book a photoshoot with me, I’ll guide you with fun, natural posing so it feels effortless and candid—no stiff smiles, no “what do I do with my hands?” panic. Just authentic moments that look like you. Whether you’ve done this before or not, the result is the same: photos that will have you reminiscing of your wonderful time in Malta.

Perfect for every type of traveller

  • Couples → dreamy sunset kisses on the beach, a drone sweeping overhead to catch that golden glow, or cliffside shots that feel straight out of a movie.
  • Solo travellers → your very own “main character” moment in Malta—whether it’s moments of you wandering Valletta’s cobbled streets or an epic drone shot of you standing tiny against Malta’s dramatic coastline.
  • Families → those ‘chaotic-but-magical’ captures turned into heart-melting memories—laughing splashes caught on camera and drone views of you all having fun at the beach.

Whether you’re here to celebrate, explore, or just treat yourself, I’ll make sure your Malta story is captured beautifully, whether it’s by my Camera, Drone or GoPro (for Underwater Photoshoots.

Stress-free, fun and totally you

My shoots are less “say cheese” and more like hanging out with a friend who just happens to be snapping amazing photos along the way. We’ll laugh, wander, and explore together—think of me as your well-informed, camera-in-hand travel buddy for the day.

And the best part? You get a gallery of photos that you’ll look back on and say, “That was such a fun day.”

Memories that outlast the holiday

Souvenirs fade, but photos last forever. Years from now, you’ll scroll through your Malta gallery and instantly feel the sunshine, the sea breeze, and that little flutter in your heart when you saw the island for the first time.

Your trip deserves more than quick phone snaps. Let’s create something that truly tells your story.

📌 FAQ: Hiring a Professional Photographer in Malta

Pricing isn’t one-size-fits-all — it’s designed around your adventure.

Your final cost depends on a few things:

  • Group size → solo, couple, or family sessions.

  • Perspective → classic ground shots, epic drone views, cinematic videos, or even magical underwater captures.

  • Locations → you can choose up to 3 different locations in one session (because why settle for just one backdrop when Malta is basically a movie set?)

  • Edited photos → the more polished images you want returned, the more it shapes the package.

In short: your shoot is fully customisable — whether you want a sweet mini-session or the whole cinematic adventure package.

Some of my favourite spots include:

  • The colourful fishing village of Marsaxlokk

  • The ancient streets of Mdina with it’s iconic door knockers

  • The rustic charm of Valletta’s alleys, colourful balconies and views of the harbour

  • The epic cliffside found nearby to the iconic Popeye’s Village

  • The trail that leaves everyone in awe: Lippija, complete with it’s very own tower

  • Gnejna or Ghajn Tuffieha Bay for showing off Malta’s blue water

  • St. Peter’s Pool for a unique stone beach

When you book with me, I’ll help you choose locations that fit your vibe perfectly. Other locations may be available depending on when you’re booking the session.

Most sessions last between 1–1.5 hours, but I also offer longer shoots for those who want to explore multiple locations across Malta.

Not at all! I’ll guide you with easy, natural movements so you feel comfortable. My goal is to capture you being you.

Super easy! Just contact me here Book Lara Goes exploring | Easy Online Booking and we can start discussing immediately – including location suggestions, best timing for light, and outfit inspo if you need it.

After your session, you’ll get a compressed sample gallery (because trust me, the raw files are huge — nobody wants their laptop crying for storage space). From there, you simply pick your favorites, send me your list, and I’ll work my magic – editing them into high-quality, frame-worthy photos.

The whole process usually takes just a few days, but if you’re too excited to wait, you can even opt for a same-day edit upgrade to get your polished photos delivered that very day!

Not at all! You don’t need a birthday, proposal, or graduation as an excuse to capture memories in Malta — sometimes the best reason is simply because you’re here. That being said, if you are celebrating something special (think proposals, anniversaries, maternity shoots, or even a post-graduation adventure), I’m more than happy to be there to capture the magic. Big milestone or “just because” — every shoot deserves to feel unforgettable.

Yes, absolutely! Gozo is stunning and makes for an incredible backdrop — think beautiful villages, intricately shaped salt pans, and unparalleled views. The only thing to keep in mind is that an additional fee applies to cover transportation and the extra time required to get there. Trust me though, if you’re up for the adventure, it’s 100% worth it.

Nope — you don’t need to be the next Olympic swimmer to book one! The basics are enough. I’ll always choose the location based on both the weather forecast and your swimming abilities. Some magical spots are reserved for advanced swimmers, but don’t worry — there are plenty of beautiful, beginner-friendly locations too.

Plus, I’ve got two types of gear: one for those cool 50/50 shots (half above water, half below) and another for deeper dives if you’re feeling adventurous. So whether you’re a casual dipper or a confident diver, we’ll find the perfect setup for you.

You should wear whatever makes you feel like the best version of yourself and truly comfortable. Confidence shows on camera, so choose outfits that reflect your personality and help you feel at ease.

As a helpful tip, it’s a good idea to plan your outfit based on the location of the shoot. Consider colours and styles that complement the setting—whether it’s out in nature or a city backdrop—so everything feels cohesive and enhances the overall look of your photos.
