Private Mallorca Photoshoot – Palma & North Beaches options
The best part of this private Mallorca photoshoot is that you choose the setting. You might pose among quiet streets and old buildings in Palma, walk beside the sea at Port de Pollença, or use dunes, rocks, pine trees, and beaches as your backdrop. Photographer Myriam Gardom works in English and Spanish, which makes planning easy.
I like the personal setting choices and the relaxed approach to posing. I also like that the package includes high-resolution files, web-size copies, printing rights, and a private gallery, rather than leaving you with only a handful of images. The main consideration is price: $385.32 per group of up to two people is a serious spend for a short session, especially if you need a larger family package or want prints too.
- Choose your setting: Palma Old Town, Alcanada, Port de Pollença, or Son Baulo offer very different backgrounds.
- Work with Myriam Gardom: She communicates in English and Spanish and helps with posing, timing, outfits, and location choices.
- Expect a private session: Only your group takes part, with sessions lasting about 30 minutes to 2 hours.
- Get usable files: You receive 20 to 50 edited images in high resolution and web size, plus printing rights.
- Plan around the light: Myriam recommends the best time of day for the chosen location.
- Allow for delivery time: Your private online gallery arrives 5 to 10 days after the session.
Why This Mallorca Photo Session Works

A holiday photoshoot can sound stiff until you picture the alternatives: one person is always missing from the family photo, couples rely on a phone balanced on a wall, and the best sunset moment passes while everyone argues about the timer.
This experience solves that problem with a private photographer and a choice of places that already look good in photographs. Myriam Gardom’s style, based on the details provided, leans toward natural expressions rather than rigid poses. She gives direction when you need it, but the goal is to keep you moving, talking, and enjoying the place.
That matters most if you feel awkward in front of a camera. The strongest praise for Myriam centers on her patience, her ability to calm reserved adults, and her gentle way with children and babies. Families have been guided through poses without losing the feeling of a holiday stroll. Couples have also used the session for engagement photographs, with help choosing clothing colors that fit the surroundings.
The session is private, so you are not being photographed alongside another booking. That gives you room to request a particular mood or location, and it makes the experience a better fit for families with young children or couples who do not want an audience.
Choosing Between Palma and Mallorca’s Northern Coast
The biggest decision is not the camera. It is the setting.
You can arrange a favorite place in Mallorca, subject to availability, or choose one of the suggested meeting points. Each option offers a different kind of photograph:
- Palma Old Town gives you streets, architecture, and an urban setting.
- Son Baulo and Na Patana offer sand, dunes, rocks, a torrent, and open sea.
- Alcanada combines a quiet beach, pine trees, rocky shore, and a small lighthouse on an island offshore.
- Port de Pollença brings a seaside promenade, mountain views, boats, tamarisks, and small sandy coves.
If you want photographs that clearly say Mallorca, the northern beaches have the advantage. If you prefer buildings, narrow streets, and a more dressed-up feel, Palma Old Town may suit you better.
You should also consider your group. A couple can move quickly between several nearby backgrounds. A family with children may get better results by choosing one area with room to play, rather than trying to cover too much ground.

Son Baulo and Na Patana: Sand, Dunes, and Easy Walking

Choose Son Baulo in Can Picafort if you want a session with several natural settings close together. The path between Son Baulo and Na Patana includes the sea, sandy beach, a torrent, dunes, and unusual rock formations.
That variety is useful during a short shoot. You can begin with walking photographs, move toward the water, and finish among rocks or dunes. The result should feel less like a formal portrait session and more like a day at the coast, though the exact number of locations depends on the time booked and the pace of your group.
This area is particularly practical for families. The walking path gives children something to do, and the beach provides space for natural movement. The description also identifies it as suitable for couples and families of all sizes.
Son Baulo is accessible by car and public transport. Still, a coastal path may require more walking than a single beach meeting point. If anyone in your group has limited mobility, ask for precise meeting instructions and walking details before booking.
For clothing, simple colors and comfortable shoes make sense here. You may be moving between sand, paths, and rocky sections. If you plan several outfits, allow enough time for changing without turning the session into a race.
Alcanada: A Quiet Shore with a Lighthouse View

Playa de Alcanada is about 3.5 kilometers from Port d’Alcúdia, on the Cap des Pinar headland. The beach has sand and pebbles, a rocky area, and large pine trees beside the coast.
The most distinctive feature is offshore Alcanada Island, with its small lighthouse. That gives your photographs a clear sense of place without requiring an elaborate setup. Couples can use the island and lighthouse as a calm backdrop, while families can spread out near the trees and shore.
Alcanada is also one of the easiest choices for drivers. There is free parking next to the beach, and the meeting point is straightforward by car. The shore is quieter than a busy resort setting, which helps if you want photographs with fewer distractions.
The trade-off is the beach surface. Sand and pebbles are not the same as a smooth promenade, and the rocky area may not suit every outfit or small child. You will get the most from this location if you are comfortable walking over uneven ground and want a natural coastal setting rather than polished town scenery.
The timing recommendation matters here. Myriam selects the best time of day for the chosen location, helping with softer light and more flattering shadows. That is especially useful when pine trees, rocks, and the lighthouse are all part of the frame.
Port de Pollença: Pine Walks and Mountain Views

The Playa Pollença meeting point covers the coastal area near Port de Pollença, including the Albercuix stretch. The walk follows a seaside promenade with views across the bay, sailing boats, pine trees, tamarisks, and summer residences.
This is a strong all-purpose choice. You can get photographs on the promenade, near small beaches, beside trees, and with the mountains behind you. There are also little sandy areas where children can play, and the setting works well for couples seeking sunset light.
The beach area is about six kilometers from Pollença and around a 10-minute walk from the port. You can reach it by car, leave the vehicle in a free parking area, or use public transport. That flexibility makes it useful if your accommodation is in or near Port de Pollença.
The long coastal stretch also gives Myriam room to vary the photographs. A family might begin with everyone together, then split into smaller combinations, while a couple might walk along the water or pause near the trees. The exact route and amount of walking will depend on your session length.
I would choose Port de Pollença for a classic Mallorca holiday look: sea, mountains, boats, and a relaxed promenade. It is less suited to someone seeking dramatic rock formations or old stone streets. For those, Son Baulo or Palma Old Town will likely be a better match.

Palma Old Town for Streets and Architecture

Palma Old Town offers a different mood from the beaches. Instead of sand, pine trees, and open water, you can expect quiet streets and architectural backgrounds.
This option suits couples who want more urban portraits, families who prefer firm walking surfaces, and anyone who wants photographs that feel connected to Palma itself. It can also work well if you are staying in the city and do not want to spend time traveling north.
The supplied details do not specify an exact meeting point or route in the Old Town, so you should confirm those arrangements after booking. You can also discuss the type of architecture and mood you want in advance. A session among streets and buildings will need a different clothing plan from a beach shoot.
One useful feature is the chance to combine locations when arranging the session. A family session described in the supplied material moved between Alcudia Old Town and Alcudia beach, with Myriam guiding the group through both. That suggests a mixed town and coast session may be possible in some bookings, but you should confirm what can fit within your chosen duration.
How Myriam Guides Couples, Families, and Children

The photographer’s personality is a major part of this experience. Myriam Gardom is repeatedly described as warm, patient, and good with children. She helps people who feel shy or reserved, and she offers pose suggestions without making the session feel overly formal.
That is valuable for couples planning engagement photographs. One couple received help with a clothing color scheme so their outfits worked with the surroundings. Another couple used a private beach near their hotel in Alcudia after Myriam recommended a location.
Families benefit in a different way. Myriam has photographed groups that included babies, young children, and relatives meeting for the first time in years. She kept the mood calm, worked patiently with a baby nephew, and helped children relax enough for natural expressions.
You should not expect to simply stand in one spot while the shutter clicks. The session may involve walking, changing positions, trying different backgrounds, and following suggestions about light. If you have a specific family combination you want, tell Myriam before the session so she can allow time for it.
The result is likely to be strongest when you share useful information in advance. Mention children’s ages, mobility concerns, a pregnancy, an engagement, a newborn, or a preferred style. Myriam can then adjust the location and suggestions to fit your group.
What You Receive After the Session

The package includes 20 to 50 edited digital images, supplied in high resolution and web size. The number depends on the booking option, so check the selected package carefully before paying.
The private online gallery is delivered 5 to 10 days after the session. That is quick enough for most holiday plans, but not immediate. If you need images for a birthday post, announcement, or return flight, plan around the delivery window.
Printing rights are included. You can print the photographs at home or use a professional lab, which adds real value to the digital package. Prints and wall art are not included, but you can order them through the online gallery if you prefer a finished product.
This setup works well for families who want to make an album later. High-resolution files give you more flexibility than social-media-only images, while web-size copies are convenient for sharing.
Is $385.32 Good Value for Up to Two People?

At $385.32 per group of up to two, this is not a budget activity. The value depends on how important professional photographs are to your Mallorca trip.
For an engagement, anniversary, honeymoon, or return visit, the price can make sense because you are paying for more than camera time. You get planning help, a private session, location advice, editing, a gallery, and printing rights. The photographer also helps create natural moments, which is difficult to reproduce with a phone or a tripod.
For two people, the price is easier to justify than for a larger family if the booking option charges more as the group grows. Families should check exactly how many images and people their selected option covers. The supplied package range of 20 to 50 images is useful, but the price information provided here does not list separate rates for larger groups.
Prints cost extra. If you want wall art, include that in your overall budget rather than assuming the package covers it.
The session length also affects value. A 30-minute booking may be enough for a couple in one compact location. A family, or anyone wanting town and beach settings, should consider a longer option of up to two hours if available.
Practical Planning Before You Book
Confirmation arrives within 48 hours, subject to availability. Because the experience depends on good weather, poor conditions may lead to a new date or a full refund.
You can cancel for a full refund if you do so at least 24 hours before the start time. Cancellations or changes made within 24 hours are not refunded or accepted, and cut-off times follow local Mallorca time.
The experience is offered in English, and Myriam also speaks Spanish. Service animals are allowed, public transportation is available near the meeting areas, and most people can participate.
A few planning tips will improve your session:
- Pick the location based on your group, not only the prettiest photograph.
- Bring clothing that fits the setting and allows comfortable walking.
- Tell Myriam in advance if you want engagement, newborn, family, or holiday portraits.
- Ask which meeting point applies to your chosen beach.
- Allow 5 to 10 days for the online gallery.
- Confirm the number of people, images, and session length in your booking option.
Who Should Book This Photoshoot?
I would recommend this experience to couples who want engagement or holiday photographs, families who rarely have everyone together, and parents who want a proper portrait with young children. It also suits people who feel awkward posing, since Myriam’s approach includes direction and patience.
Port de Pollença is my pick for a broad mix of sea, mountains, boats, trees, and small beaches. Choose Alcanada for the lighthouse and a quieter shore. Choose Son Baulo for dunes, rocks, and a more active walk. Choose Palma Old Town for buildings and city character.
I would think twice if you only want a quick selfie-style session, dislike being guided, or do not want to plan around weather and light. The price is also high for a casual souvenir.
For a meaningful occasion, though, this is a strong way to keep the whole group in the picture. Book it if you value natural photographs, a private setting, and a photographer who can make shy adults and lively children feel at ease.
