Robert Hitchman publishes a series of newsletter photography guides that I have always found very helpful. You can download them for $8 and keep them on your smart phone when traveling. A good resource.

My wife and I were out in February and came out during the summer a few years back. There is no end to available subjects, large and small. And make sure you leave time to take in Canyon Road galleries (and lots of other ones too). There's a nice photography studio tucked back from that road, Kat Livingood. She has some great photos of mustangs and landscapes, and she's as nice and helpful as she can be.
Have a great time and take extra storage capacity!

Don't know how long your stay in Santa Fe is but the trip to Chama, NM is about an hour and a half north and you could look into taking the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railway trip, a coal powered steam train through some beautiful canyons and mountains, one the best in the Southwest.
If you're interested in history Los Alamos and Los Alamos National Laboratories is not very far and they have the science museum that includes the history of the Manhattan Project. Then there's always Taos and Wheeler peak (13,100') which is about an hour away at the most, another beautiful area.
NM is a photographer's smorgasbord....ENJOY

As has been mentioned, the high road to Taos is a great drive. If you do go to Taos, a great photo op is the Martinez Hacienda, just outside town. You'll be amazed. It's a working hacienda with rooms for various crafts needed for living. It was also built with defense against the Indians in mind. It also has a large center grassy area which the hacienda is built around.
Don't miss the many great restaurants in Santa Fe, as well, which are in the Plaza area.

My only suggestion is to remind you that it can get very cold in Santa Fe (low teens is not out of the question).

We were there in February and, while it snowed every morning, it never was a problem getting around.
I suspect some Santa Fe website has weather history.

Taos is a ski location.

I'm sorry to hear that! It is in my bucket list for next year.

I’ve been to Santa Fe, and there’s literally no end to the photo ops there. Just take your camera, a big SD card, and go crazy with it. There’s something to photograph at every turn. I’ll go back if I ever have the chance.

Las Golondrinas did get hit with a flood, which temporarily took out the creek crossing. NO buildings were damaged, and the crossing is repaired. There is damage to fields, but the site is as beautiful as ever. I was Director there for 25 years, and live on the site.
