Maternity photography in Malta by Claudio Rego

Maternity Photoshoots

The sweet spot for a maternity shoot is usually between 28 and 34 weeks, when the bump is beautifully round and you are still comfortable moving around. We can shoot in a soft studio setup or out on a Malta beach at golden hour, with flowing fabrics and gentle posing that celebrate this stage rather than feeling staged. Partners and older children are welcome to join.

Newborn & Baby Sessions

Newborn sessions are best in the first couple of weeks, when babies still curl into those sleepy, snug poses — though there is no wrong time, and slightly older babies bring their own gummy smiles. I work gently and patiently at your pace, keeping everything calm, safe and warm, whether at home or in a studio setup.

Want to mark the months as they grow? Baby milestone sessions are a lovely way to track those first big changes.

Cake Smash & First Birthday

A cake smash is exactly as fun as it sounds — a colourful, playful first-birthday session where your one-year-old gets to dive into a cake while I capture every gleeful, messy moment. We build a simple themed setup in colours you love, and the photos are pure joy: the perfect way to celebrate that big milestone.

Family Sessions & Holiday Family Shoots

With families — especially young children — the best photos come from play, not from forcing everyone to sit still and smile. I keep sessions light and game-like so kids stay engaged, then capture the genuine cuddles, laughter and happy chaos as it unfolds. We can shoot at golden hour on the beach, in the historic streets of Mdina or Valletta, by the Grand Harbour or along the coast.

Visiting Malta with your family? A holiday family photoshoot is a wonderful souvenir — professionally photographed memories of your trip together, planned around your itinerary anywhere on the islands.

Family & Maternity Photography FAQs

Common questions about family & maternity photography in Malta.

How much does a maternity or family photoshoot in Malta cost?+

Sessions start from €200, with the final price depending on the type of shoot, the location and how many edited images you would like. Let me know whether it is a maternity, newborn, cake smash or family session and I will send a tailored quote.

When is the best time to do a maternity shoot during pregnancy?+

Between roughly 28 and 34 weeks is ideal — your bump is nicely rounded and you are usually still comfortable moving around for the session. If you are expecting twins or further along, it is best to shoot a little earlier, so get in touch and we will plan the timing.

When should we book a newborn session?+

The classic curled-up newborn look photographs best in the first two weeks or so, so it helps to get in touch before baby arrives and pencil in an approximate date. That said, slightly older babies make for beautiful, smiley sessions too — there is no wrong time.

Do you offer cake smash and first-birthday sessions?+

Yes! Cake smash sessions are a joyful way to celebrate a first birthday. We set up a simple themed backdrop in your chosen colours and let your little one enjoy the cake while I capture all the happy, messy moments.

Where can we do a family photoshoot in Malta?+

Both studio and outdoor sessions work wonderfully. For outdoor shoots, golden hour on the beach or coast is soft and flattering, while Mdina, Valletta and the Grand Harbour add timeless character. I will suggest the best location and time of day for your family.

Do you photograph families visiting Malta on holiday?+

Absolutely — holiday family photoshoots are a lovely keepsake of your trip. I work around your travel schedule and can meet you anywhere on the Maltese islands to capture relaxed, natural photos of your family together.
