Private Mallorca Photoshoot – Palma & North Beaches options

A Mallorca photoshoot can give you something a quick phone snapshot rarely does: a set of portraits with the island’s coast, mountains, or old-town streets as part of the story. Photographer Myriam Gardom works with your group alone, and you can choose a northern beach or town setting.

I like the choice between distinct backdrops, from the lighthouse offshore at Alcanada to the mountain views along Port de Pollença’s Pine Walk. I also like that Myriam offers advance advice and helps people feel at ease, including shy couples, children, and families with a newborn.

The main consideration is the price: $385.32 is listed per group of up to two, so check the exact booking option and group-size terms if you have more people. Session length and image count also vary by option, and the beach setting means weather can affect plans.

• Private session with Myriam Gardom: Your group has the photographer to itself, with communication available in English or Spanish.
• Choose a setting to suit your photos: Options include Son Baulo, Playa de Alcanada, Playa de Pollença, and Mallorca Old Town.
• Expect location and posing guidance: Myriam can recommend spots, help with outfit colors, and guide you toward natural-looking poses.
• Receive 20 to 50 edited images: The exact number depends on your booking option. Images arrive in a private online gallery, usually within 5 to 10 days.
• Plan for a short or longer session: Options run from about 30 minutes to two hours, so check the duration attached to the one you select.
• Print your pictures later: A printing-rights release is included. Prints and wall art are available separately through the gallery.

A private session for more than a holiday snapshot

This is not a walking tour with a guide explaining local history. It is a private photography session built around you, your group, and a chosen Mallorca setting. Myriam takes the pictures, offers recommendations, and helps you find a comfortable way to pose or move through the location.

That personal approach matters if the thought of standing stiffly in front of a camera makes you tense. Couples have used the session for engagement portraits, while families have brought children and newborns. The photographer’s job is not only to find a good view, but also to help people relax enough for the pictures to feel like them.

The available sessions range from roughly half an hour to two hours. A shorter option can suit a simple portrait session in one place; a longer one gives you more time to walk between settings or try different backgrounds. The number of edited images varies too, from 20 to 50 depending on the booking option. Check the duration and image allowance before choosing, since those details shape what you can reasonably fit in.

Son Baulo: beach path, dunes, and rock formations

Choose the Son Baulo meeting point in Can Picafort for a walk beside the sea toward Na Patana beach. The scenery can include sand, a torrent, dunes, and unusual rock formations, giving Myriam several kinds of background without needing to travel between distant locations.

This stretch is described as a good fit for couples and families of different sizes. A walk also gives children a chance to move around rather than hold one pose for the entire session. If you prefer pictures that feel less formal, a route with changing scenery can help: you can pause by the shore, stroll along the path, or take pictures near the rocks.

Son Baulo is reachable by car and public transport. The broader beach path continues toward Son Serra de Marina, but confirm with Myriam what is practical for your chosen session length and option. A 30-minute booking and a two-hour booking do not allow for the same amount of walking or variety.

Playa de Alcanada: lighthouse views near Port d’Alcúdia

Playa de Alcanada, also called Platja de l’Alcanada in Catalan, offers a quieter coastal setting about 3.5 kilometres from Port d’Alcúdia. The beach combines sand and pebbles with a rocky shoreline and large pine trees. Offshore, Alcanada Island and its small lighthouse give portraits a clear sense of place.

The setting works well if you want sea views without relying on an uninterrupted sweep of sand. The island and lighthouse make a recognizable focal point, while the nearby pines and rocky areas offer a change of texture. One family described choosing this area for its natural portraits, so it is worth considering if you want a beach setting with more than one look.

There is free parking next to the beach, which makes this one of the simpler options if you have a car. The shore is not all soft sand, however, so consider that when choosing shoes or planning photos with small children. The area sits on the headland of Cap des Pinar, with Puig de sa Madona rising behind it. You do not need to know the geography to enjoy the view, but it helps explain why the setting feels more enclosed and varied than a long open beach.

Playa de Pollença: promenade, pines, and bay views

Near Port de Pollença, Playa de Pollença gives you a seaside promenade with views across the bay to mountains and sailing boats. The Albercuix area is marked by pine trees, tamarisks, and summer residences. Along the long coast are small stretches of fine sand, where children can play and couples can take pictures in the evening light.

The promenade makes this a strong choice if you want a session with a gentle stroll rather than a single fixed backdrop. The small beaches offer opportunities for relaxed family pictures, while the bay and boats add context without making every frame look alike. Myriam can also help with outfit colors in advance, a useful detail when you want clothing to sit comfortably against the sea, trees, and mountain views.

This beach area is about six kilometres from Pollença and a short walk from the Port. You can reach it by car, with free parking available, or by public transport. The long coastal stretch is a plus for variety, but ask how much of it your selected session can cover. The listed duration matters: a shorter shoot may focus on one part of the promenade, while more time allows a slower walk and additional backgrounds.

Mallorca Old Town: architecture and quieter streets

If a beach is not your idea of Mallorca, the Old Town option offers quiet streets and architecture instead. This is the most town-focused choice among the locations described, and it can suit you if you want the island’s built character in your portraits rather than a shoreline behind every picture.

A town setting also gives you a useful alternative if you are drawn to details and intimate corners more than wide coastal views. A family session can include more than one type of setting: one family combined Old Town streets with Alcúdia beach. That example suggests you can discuss a combination with Myriam, but do not assume every booking automatically includes multiple locations. Ask what can fit within the option you choose.

The available information does not specify a precise Old Town meeting point or the walking route. If you have a particular street or favorite Mallorca spot in mind, you can ask about arranging the session there. Myriam also offers advance tips and recommendations, so use that conversation to clarify the location, timing, and the kind of backgrounds you want.

A photographer who helps camera-shy people settle in

Many people arrive at a photoshoot with the same worry: they do not know what to do with their hands, or they feel awkward being watched. Myriam’s approach is described as warm and patient, with pose suggestions and enough direction to help people feel natural. That is especially useful for couples who are shy, families with different personalities, and parents managing a young child.

She has also worked with babies and a newborn, and families have valued her ability to engage children and keep the session comfortable. That does not mean every child will be in the mood for a camera, of course. But choosing a beach path or promenade gives you room to move, and a photographer who can offer guidance is a better starting point than expecting children to sit still for a long series of formal poses.

For engagement portraits, Myriam can help with outfit color choices and tailor the pictures to the couple’s preferred look. If you have a specific idea, share it in advance. The session is private, which means you do not have to work around another group’s schedule or share the photographer’s attention.

What the price includes, and what it does not

The stated price is $385.32 per group of up to two. Since the service is private, you are not joining a larger tour, and the photographer’s attention is reserved for your party. That privacy is a real part of the value, particularly for family portraits or engagement pictures where relaxed interaction matters more than ticking off a list of sights.

Your booking includes 20 to 50 edited high-resolution and web-size digital images, depending on the option you select. You also get a private online gallery, access to the best time of day for your chosen location, advance tips, and a printing-rights release. The gallery is delivered 5 to 10 days after the session.

Prints are not included. You can order prints and wall art through the gallery, or use the included rights release to print the images at home or through a professional lab. For a fair comparison with other photography options, weigh the session length and image count alongside the price. A shorter option with fewer pictures is not the same purchase as a two-hour session with a larger image set.

The group limit deserves special attention if you are booking for a family. The stated price applies to a group of up to two, while family sessions are also part of the service. Check the precise terms for your selected option before booking rather than assuming the listed price covers a larger party.

Timing, transport, and weather

The best time of day depends on the location you choose, and advice about timing is included. Evening light is specifically noted as appealing along Playa de Pollença. If you have a preferred time, tell Myriam when arranging the session and ask what works best for your chosen spot.

Access varies by location. Son Baulo can be reached by car or public transport. Playa de Alcanada has free parking beside the beach, while Playa de Pollença also has free parking and public transport access. Most people can participate, and service animals are allowed.

Weather is a practical factor because the session takes place outdoors. If poor weather leads to cancellation, you are offered another date or a full refund. You can also cancel at least 24 hours before the start time for a full refund; late cancellations and changes are not accepted.

Who should book this Mallorca photoshoot?

I would consider this session if you want professional family or couple portraits in a setting that feels tied to your Mallorca holiday. It is especially suited to engagement photos, a family reunion, a newborn’s first trip, or a picture of the whole family together. The combination of private attention, location advice, and gentle posing help makes it a practical choice for people who are not used to being photographed.

It is less suitable if you want a sightseeing tour, a guide to explain local history, or a guaranteed printed album included in the price. You should also compare the group size, session length, and number of images in the exact option before committing.

Book it if you value a set of well-edited digital portraits more than a quick phone picture and are willing to plan around an outdoor location. Choose Alcanada for its lighthouse and rocky shore, Son Baulo for a varied beach walk, Pollença for promenade and bay views, or Old Town for architecture. Then ask Myriam about timing and any specific place you hope to include.
