Carmel Valley Ranch is the perfect place to have your family photos taken when you are visiting Monterey on vacation. It has sweeping, stunning grounds filled with vineyards and oak trees. One of my favorite spaces for families with young kids is the garden, which has a fence to keep them safe.
If you are staying at Carmel Valley Ranch with your family and looking for a close offsite location for your family pictures, I highly recommend Carmel River State Beach- it’s just west of the hotel in Carmel-by-the-Sea. Check out my family session at the beach here.
