Picture Day — SAN DIEGO/CARLSBAD

THE DETAILS:

Date: Dec 6, 2026

Location: Tub Hub | 928 Kellogg Ave, Carlsbad, CA 92008

Timing: 15 min sessions (up to 6 people and 1 furry friend – babies don’t count!)

Cost: $550 per session (includes a special GOODIE BAG full of all the best products from Tubby Todd!)

Payment Schedule: A non-refundable 50% deposit is due at the time of booking. No cancellations. The remaining balance will be automatically charged to the same method of payment one week before your scheduled Picture Day session.

Delivery: Each family will receive 10 fully processed hi-res digital images. Galleries to select your photos will be delivered approximately 3 weeks after the shoot date. Additional images will be available to purchase for $20 per file.

Backdrop Color: This season’s Picture Day backdrop will be Thunder Gray, a rich, neutral gray that can range from a softer medium gray to a deeper charcoal depending on how it is lit. We love it because it feels classic and understated while still giving color, skin tones, and clothing plenty of contrast.

The images shown below are intended as a general reference for the look and direction of the backdrop, rather than an exact color match. Backdrop tone and brightness may vary slightly depending on the location, available space, lighting setup, distance from the backdrop, and final edit. Some sessions may photograph a little lighter or darker than the examples shown.

Wait List: Email us at pictureday@maxwanger.com to be added to our wait list.

P.S. Although we do not plan on canceling any Picture Days, we require a certain number of bookings each day to make it happen. In the rare case that we do not book enough sessions on your scheduled Picture Day, clients will be notified two weeks before the scheduled session and deposits will be refunded within 7–10 days. How can you help? Text your friends, tell your neighbors, and spread the word far and wide! 🙏
