Now and then we see photos in newspapers regarding the view of certain planets. Can we see all the planets together in one photo to see their location at a particular point of time ?

On 14 Feb 1990, Voyager 1's cameras were turned back towards the solar system to try and capture a "family portrait" of the solar system. A mosaic of these images was made, although several planets cannot be seen due to either being in the suns glare or just being too faint thats probably the best we will manage for quite some time!

Not in one photo, but the source is an assembled mosaic taken by Voyager 1 in 1990 from a distance of approximately 4 billion miles and about 32 degrees above the ecliptic plane.

No,
to get a full view of solar system we need to traval out of the solar system or the planets needs to be alinged in a single line of sigth.
(this would never happen).even if we travel out of the solar sys to take the pic the distances between the planets would make some very faint or impossible to see..

Currently impossible. Where exactly will this photo be taken from? Do the planets ALL ever align sufficiently? The distances between planets are colossal.

This isn't what you are looking for exactly. But these are outstanding photos. I know this must sound outlandish, but I know for sure that I've heard of a sort of photo of the entire solar system from afar that we have recently made. Enjoy these photos and I'll go hunting for what you ask:

And, here is a real photo that we have recently taken of the beginning of the Universe:

No, because the distances between the planets are too vast for that to be feasible - half of them would be no more that miniscule dots, no matter where you took the photo.
But I believe there are plenty of collage photos put together by NASA.

No. But there are computer generated models that show relative positions of the planets on any given date.

No, the closest you'll get are the satellite photos.

Sorry, no.
The closest that humans have gone is the satellite pictures.
