Bring home more than holiday snapshots. This private Mallorca photoshoot lets you choose between quiet beaches, mountain views, pine-lined shores, and the stone streets of the old town. I especially like the choice of several North Mallorca locations and the personal guidance from Myriam Gardom, who speaks English and Spanish. I also like that your photos arrive in a private online gallery with printing rights included.

The main point to consider is the price: $385.32 per group of up to two people is a serious spend for a session lasting roughly 30 minutes to two hours. The value improves if you want engagement pictures, newborn portraits, or polished family photos rather than a quick holiday souvenir.

Key points to know before booking

  • Digital delivery is included: You receive 20 to 50 edited images in high resolution and web size, usually within 5 to 10 days.

Why this Mallorca photoshoot is worth considering

Private Mallorca Photoshoot - Palma & North Beaches options - Why this Mallorca photoshoot is worth considering

A professional photoshoot solves a common holiday problem: one person is always missing from the picture, or everyone appears in the same stiff pose. Here, the session is private, so you are not sharing the photographer’s attention with another group. That matters with young children, engagement photos, and family reunions, when a few extra minutes of patience can make the difference.

The photography is also tied to a place. You are not simply standing in front of a generic studio background. You might be walking beside the sea, using pine trees and rocky shorelines as natural framing, or moving through old-town streets with historic buildings behind you.

I particularly value the flexibility. You can choose from several locations in northern Mallorca, or ask to arrange a special place that matters to you. The photographer also gives advice before the session, including recommendations intended to help you choose clothing and get the best light.

The session length depends on the option you book. Some are around 30 minutes, while others can run up to two hours. Check the exact duration and image count attached to your chosen option before paying, since the included collection ranges from 20 to 50 edited images.

Meeting Myriam Gardom Photography

Communication is available in English and Spanish, which makes planning easier if you want to discuss clothing, family groupings, a particular beach, or the sort of mood you prefer. This is especially useful for couples arranging engagement photos from abroad, since small details can be settled before you arrive in Mallorca.

The strongest praise focuses on how Myriam handles people who do not enjoy being photographed. Shy couples have been guided into natural poses, and reserved families have been given enough direction without being pushed into stiff arrangements. That balance is important. A technically good photographer can still produce uncomfortable pictures if the people in front of the camera feel awkward.

Her work with children is another strong point. She has been praised for keeping young children involved, including a baby and a newborn. For a family session, that suggests a relaxed approach in which the photographer watches for brief, genuine moments instead of expecting everyone to hold a perfect pose for a long time.

You can also expect practical help with movement and composition. A session may use more than one nearby setting, so you might have pictures by the water, among trees, and along a promenade rather than 40 versions of the same pose.

Can Picafort and Son Baulo: sand, dunes, and a walking path

Private Mallorca Photoshoot - Palma & North Beaches options - Can Picafort and Son Baulo: sand, dunes, and a walking path

The Son Baulo meeting point near Can Picafort gives you a broad mix of outdoor backdrops. The route between Son Baulo and Na Patana beach includes the sea, sandy shore, a torrent, dunes, and unusual rock formations.

That variety suits couples and families who want pictures with changing scenery. A beach session can otherwise become visually repetitive. Here, the walking path offers room for pictures while moving, while the dunes and rock formations add texture and shape to the frame.

The beach path also connects toward Son Serra de Marina. The supplied details describe it as a pleasant route along the coast, making this a useful choice if you like the idea of a session that feels like a walk rather than a formal portrait appointment.

The practical advantage is access by car and public transport. Still, remember that this is an outdoor session with a walking element. If you are bringing a stroller, older family members, or small children, ask in advance how far the selected session will move along the path. The exact route and duration are not fixed in the information provided.

Son Baulo is a good match for:

  • Couples seeking beach and sunset-style images
  • Families who want space for children to move
  • People who prefer dunes, rocks, and natural shorelines to built-up streets
  • Groups wanting several different backdrops within one session

Alcanada: a quieter shore near Port d’Alcúdia

Private Mallorca Photoshoot - Palma & North Beaches options - Alcanada: a quieter shore near Port d’Alcúdia

Playa de Alcanada, also called Platja de l’Alcanada, sits about 3.5 kilometres from Port d’Alcúdia on the Cap des Pinar headland. The shore combines sand and pebbles with a rocky section bordered by large pine trees.

Its most distinctive feature is the view across the water to Alcanada Island and its small lighthouse. That gives your images a clear sense of place. The lighthouse is not just decoration in the background. It helps identify the setting as Mallorca and adds a distant focal point to couple or family portraits.

This location is particularly practical if you are driving. Free parking is available beside the beach, and the meeting point is easy to reach by car. The shore itself offers several textures, from pebbles and rocks to sand and pine shade.

The main consideration is that the beach is not presented as a broad, soft-sand resort beach. Parts of it are rocky or pebbled. That may be ideal for a more varied visual style, but it is worth considering your footwear and mobility needs before booking.

Alcanada has already worked well for family portraits and natural pictures of children. It also suits couples who want a quieter coastal setting without giving up a recognizable Mallorca feature. If you want a lighthouse, pine trees, and the sea in the same session, this is one of the strongest choices.

Port de Pollença and the Pine Walk

Private Mallorca Photoshoot - Palma & North Beaches options - Port de Pollença and the Pine Walk

The Playa Pollença meeting point gives you the seaside promenade around Albercuix, near Port de Pollença. The area includes mountain views, sailing boats in the bay, pine trees, tamarisks, summer residences, and a long stretch with small beaches.

It is a flexible setting for families. Children can play in the sand, and the small beaches provide softer, lower-key scenes than a wide resort shore. Couples can use the promenade and bay views for more composed portraits, especially when the light is gentle later in the day.

The beach area is about six kilometres from Pollença and roughly a 10-minute walk from the port. You can reach it by car, with free parking available, or by public transport. That combination makes it one of the easier options if you are staying around Port de Pollença and do not want a complicated transfer.

The Pine Walk setting has also been used for family sessions involving children. Myriam’s approach includes helping children laugh, play, and relax, which is useful here because the promenade and beach offer natural opportunities for movement. You do not need every person to stare at the camera at once.

For couples, the bay and mountain views give the photos a stronger sense of northern Mallorca. For families, the small beaches and shade from trees may make the session feel less formal.

Keep in mind that this is a popular coastal area, and the details supplied do not promise solitude. If you want the quietest possible conditions, ask about the best time of day for your chosen date. The photographer includes advice on timing, and that guidance matters more here than it would in a controlled indoor setting.

Mallorca Old Town: stone streets and changing backgrounds

Private Mallorca Photoshoot - Palma & North Beaches options - Mallorca Old Town: stone streets and changing backgrounds

The Old Town option gives you a different kind of Mallorca photo session. Instead of focusing on sand and sea, you can use quiet streets, architecture, and the warm tones of the historic center.

This choice works well if you want your photos to show more than a beach holiday. Couples may prefer the old-town setting for engagement pictures with a city feel, while families can combine street scenes with a nearby outdoor location if the plan allows.

The supplied details confirm that Old Town is an available choice, but they do not specify a fixed route, meeting point, or exact buildings. Ask for those details before booking so you know how much walking is involved and where the session begins.

A town session may also be the better option in conditions when you would rather avoid sand, wind, or direct exposure beside the sea. The photographer can advise on the best time of day for the selected place, but the final experience will still depend on local conditions and the chosen route.

What you receive after the session

Private Mallorca Photoshoot - Palma & North Beaches options - What you receive after the session

The package includes 20 to 50 edited digital images, supplied in both high resolution and web size. The exact number depends on the booking option, so check the details of the package you select.

Your photos are delivered through a private online gallery within 5 to 10 days after the session. That is a useful turnaround for a holiday service. You can review the collection online rather than waiting for physical prints to arrive.

Printing rights are included, allowing you to print the images at home or through a professional lab. Prints and wall art are not part of the base price, but you can order them from the online gallery if you want finished products.

The image delivery is important when judging the cost. You are paying not only for time with the photographer, but also for editing, digital files, and permission to make your own prints. If you only need a few casual phone-style pictures, this will feel expensive. If you want a lasting family or engagement collection, the package makes more sense.

Price, timing, and who gets the best value

Private Mallorca Photoshoot - Palma & North Beaches options - Price, timing, and who gets the best value

The listed price is $385.32 per group of up to two people. That is not a per-person rate, so a couple can share the cost. For a larger family, check the booking conditions for your chosen option before assuming everyone is covered under the same price.

Value depends heavily on your purpose. A couple celebrating an engagement, a family gathering after years apart, or parents marking a newborn’s first holiday may find the price reasonable because the photos preserve a specific moment in a specific place.

For a short 30-minute session, the cost is harder to justify unless you want professional engagement or family portraits and have limited time. For a session closer to two hours with several settings and up to 50 edited images, the value is stronger.

The experience is offered in English, and Myriam also speaks Spanish. Confirmation is sent within 48 hours of booking, subject to availability. Since the photoshoot requires good weather, leave some flexibility in your schedule if possible. If poor weather causes cancellation, you can receive a full refund or choose another date.

You can cancel for a full refund if you do so at least 24 hours before the start time. Changes or cancellations inside that window are not accepted for a refund. Service animals are allowed, public transport is nearby for the listed locations, and most people can participate.

Tips for getting better Mallorca portraits

Choose your location based on the feeling you want, not just the nearest beach. Alcanada gives you the lighthouse and island, Son Baulo gives you dunes and rock formations, Port de Pollença gives you the bay and Pine Walk, and Old Town gives you streets and architecture.

Tell Myriam in advance if you are shy, bringing young children, or hoping for a particular type of image. The supplied experiences show that she is comfortable offering pose suggestions while still aiming for natural expressions.

Clothing deserves attention. The photographer has helped couples choose color schemes that work with the surroundings. Ask for advice before the session, especially if you are deciding between beach-friendly colors and outfits intended for town streets.

Allow enough time for the meeting point. Port Pollença involves a walk from the port, while the Son Baulo option follows a coastal path. Alcanada is easier for drivers because of the free parking beside the beach.

Finally, do not treat the session as a race. The strongest results are likely to come when you let the photographer work with the light, move you between nearby backgrounds, and wait for children or reserved adults to relax.

Who should book this private session?

This is a strong choice for couples, families, engagement shoots, newborn portraits, and anyone who wants professional holiday photos without joining a larger group. It is especially suitable if you feel awkward in front of a camera, since Myriam’s direction and calm manner are central strengths.

It may be less suitable if you want a very cheap, very short snapshot service, or if you need a fully fixed indoor schedule that will not change with the weather. You should also compare the selected session length and included image count before making a final decision.

If a Mallorca photo collection matters to you, I would book it. Choose Alcanada for the lighthouse, Son Baulo for varied coastal scenery, Port de Pollença for family-friendly promenade and bay views, or Old Town for architecture. The private format, flexible locations, printing rights, and strong record with children make this more useful than a standard vacation photo stop.
