iCreatemotion Photography

iCreatemotion Photography is the studio of Francesca, a freelance photographer from Malta who calls herself the island's specialist newborn, maternity and family photographer. Her studio is in Mosta, in the middle of the island, and her pitch is simple: they grow up too fast, and you deserve timeless photographs of the people you love most.

If you are a UK family living in Malta, expecting a baby here or visiting relatives, this is a studio to look at. It appears in our directory of photography studios in Malta.

Maternity, newborn and baby sessions

Francesca specialises in simple but heartfelt maternity, newborn and baby photography, and she has been photographing little ones for over 11 years. Hundreds of families have trusted her with their special moments.

Timing matters for these sessions, and her contact page gives clear guidance. Maternity sessions work best between 32 and 36 weeks, and she suggests booking maternity and newborn sessions at the start of the second trimester. Newborn sessions are best between 5 and 14 days after birth: she notes your estimated due date in her calendar and confirms the date once the baby arrives. For older babies she recommends sessions at 7 to 8 months, when a baby can sit unaided and giggle without crawling away. One year sessions suit babies between 11 and 14 months, and a cake smash is optional and fun.

The site shows a menu of separate pages for maternity, newborn, babies, one year and over sessions, family sessions and special occasions, so you can browse examples of each before you ask.

Family portraits and special occasions

Family sessions are offered as beautiful portraits intended to be cherished for generations, and Francesca runs outdoor shoots in different areas of Malta as well as studio sessions. Her special occasions work includes holy communions, baptisms, confirmations, pre-wedding shoots and other once in a lifetime events.

Her About page adds that she photographs people from all walks of life and has over ten years of professional experience, with work for publications and newspapers as well as families. If you are choosing places for an outdoor session, our Valletta guide and Mdina guide describe two of the island's most photogenic towns, and the best beaches in Malta page covers the coast. You can also pick ideas from things to do in Malta.

A gift voucher is available too, which makes a newborn or family session a present for new parents or grandparents.

What to expect on the day

Francesca is open about children who do not want to cooperate. She has run many shoots where one sibling refused to play along, and she sees it as the job of both parents and photographer to make children comfortable. Her trick is to keep treats in her bag, and her studio has a bubble machine and toys.

She chooses the best images from each shoot and edits each one individually, so delivery takes a little time. She does not hand over unedited raw files, because her clients are choosing her style and the way she finishes pictures. For UK visitors, our Malta weather guide helps in picking a month for an outdoor session, and where to stay in Malta is useful when planning a stay near Mosta.
