Frequently Asked Questions

In-studio aura services start at $65 for a solo portrait. Prices increase if it’s a couple, pet, or boudoir session.

There’s a non-refundable $200 booking fee for small private events (approx 10 people). In addition to the booking fee, photos cost $45 per person.

For larger events, like weddings and corporate parties, please email me via the contact page. Include as many details as possible about the event.

First, we take your photo with the aura camera. While your polaroid develops, we talk about what’s going on in your life to help you connect color to meaning and emotion. We then reveal your aura photo and dive into the psychology of color and how it shapes your world.

My approach to aura photography is conversational and rooted in emotional psychology. On a scientific level, color means nothing. It’s lightwaves moving at different speeds. It’s the human brain that attaches color to meaning and feeling. My job is to help you understand the way you view color.

Aura photography IS self-reflection, internal work, conversation, connection, and shared human emotions and experiences. Aura colors change as you change, unlike your horoscope.

Aura photography IS NOT a rapid-fire camera, small talk, or me monologuing at you. There is no right or wrong answer.
