Family holiday photos serve more than one purpose. They give families the opportunity to capture a moment in time that will never lasts long enough, offer a way to celebrate, and when your holidays are in Rocky Point, give your friends and extended family something that will make them jealous at the adventures you are enjoying!
The memories you make here deserve to be captured and preserved and the photographic “evidence” you bring home with you will help you keep the magic alive long after you have returned to real life, magic that begins and ends in the comfort of our FMI Rentals holiday hideaways. Our guide to places for family photos in Mexico during your getaway will ensure that the pictures you take will be the best ones you have ever taken before.
In Front of the Peñasco Sign at the Malecon
There has started to be a trend of placing “life-sized” and colorfully painted signs that spell out the name of the towns you are visiting, and we love the Peñasco sign in the Malecon, as it offers the perfect spot for everyone to pose with family. Located in the Plaza Colosia, the blue waters of the Sea of Cortez peek through and around each letter, and families can play it straight by standing behind the sign, or because life is better with a little humor, your poses can “bend to the will” of the letters and make your pose match each letter.
Playa Hermosa
Beach photographs have been a holiday tradition as long as there have been cameras, with Playa Hermosa being the beach we all love to pose at, but there are ways to take the standard pic and make it extra special, starting with the construction of a white sand Christmas tree.
Easier to build than a sandcastle, it’s a simple triangle that you can add some colorful decorations to, and the photo can be of your family standing around the tree, or you could take it to the next level and take some action shots as you all work together to create the ultimate symbol of Christmas. The only limits are the ones in your imagination.
Posing with your Catch of the Day
The dock where your fishing expedition begins and ends may provide your favorite family photo of all, even if it doesn’t really have a holiday slant. You have spent the day on the seas that surround us, riding the waves and dipping your poles into their very productive waters, and when the boat returns to shore, posing with your family in front of all the soon to be very delicious fish caught will share your pride with the world.
Whale Watching Caught on “Film”
The months of December through March are the top whale watching months, and as your boat glides through the seas, taking you and your family to the places the whales are known to breach, you may find yourself taking more pictures than originally planned, as the views are so beautiful.
But the main event, the chance to see a whale up close and personal will be your main goal, and if you are really lucky, (or the captain of your boat is really good at his job!) you might just capture a pic of the whale breaching behind your family’s smiling faces, earning the envy of everyone you know. It truly is a majestic moment, when you see the giant mammals propelling themselves from the depths of the sea, perhaps spiraling in the air like a ballerina on the stage and the pictures taken will help remind you, years from now, that in 2024, you really did enjoy an adventure of a lifetime.
At Home with FMI Rentals
The best spots to take your family holiday photos, however, may be found within the boundaries of your FMI Rentals holiday hideaway. Some may offer rooftop decks featuring panoramic views of the countryside, the beaches, and the sun setting over both, leading guests to attempt sunset pics with the family from there. Maybe your home offers a balcony, encouraging family members to line up along its length, grinning happily into the lens that will help them preserve the memories.
Or quite possibly, your favorite picture may be the candid shots taken as you gather round dining room tables playing board games, don matching pajamas and pose in front of a pile of colorful wrapped gifts, or while playing in the surf that may be located just steps away from your vacation property. Every day spent exploring the comforts of our seaside sanctuaries will offer many, many photo opportunities, and the resulting photographs will help you keep the memories of your holiday getaway to Rocky Point fresh and new. Reserve your favorite escape today!
