Imagine stepping into a slice of Malta’s history and experiencing an exclusive photoshoot that’s as enchanting as it is intimate.

My recent session with Rosalie at the historic Villa Frere in Pieta, Malta, was one of those truly memorable experiences where every detail — clothes, makeup, props —harmonised beautifully with the location’s charm.

Villa Frere, a neoclassical mansion from the 19th century, was once a retreat for scholars and diplomats. Today, it stands as a hidden gem, cloaked in the elegance of its Mediterranean gardens, intricate staircases, and stunning sea views. As a typically private space, it offers a serene and uninterrupted atmosphere, perfect for creating magical photographs.

Rosalie’s preparation for the shoot was impeccable — her outfit and makeup seamlessly complemented the villa’s timeless beauty, enhancing the visual storytelling we aimed to achieve. The result was a set of vibrant, lifelike images that truly reflected the essence of the setting.

Entrance to Villa Frere requires a modest €5 donation, a small contribution that goes directly to the villa’s restoration efforts. This not only grants you access to one of Malta’s most picturesque locations but also adds a meaningful layer to every photograph taken here.
