Holiday family photos are in full swing in Rancho Mirage! This season has been very good to me and I’m so very grateful to all the families that have reached out to me for their holiday portraits.
There’s something magical about family photos at the Ritz-Carlton Rancho Mirage. Between the sweeping mountain views, glowing desert light, and lush garden pathways, this luxurious Palm Springs resort creates the perfect backdrop for relaxed, joyful portraits. This sweet family brought so much love and laughter to their session, and the vibrant desert scenery made every moment feel warm, natural, and beautifully timeless. If you’re planning a family getaway to Greater Palm Springs and want portraits that feel both elegant and effortless, the Ritz-Carlton Rancho Mirage is truly one of the best locations.
I met up with Gail and her lovely family at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Rancho Mirage for their session. They had reservations at The Edge restaurant afterwards, so it was a very convenient spot. Plus the light REALLY cooperated, isn’t it delicious??
Four of these wonderful family members were here all the way from Switzerland! So we had to make sure to incorporate the majestic palms and gorgeous golden light for them.
