Washington DC’s
Premier
Aura photography Experience.
Soulshine Aura is an analog-film practice and the East Coast's premier aura photography brand — specializing in capturing your unique and vibrant energy through the art of aura photography. Based in Washington DC with a dedicated studio in Frederick, Maryland, we serve clients across DC, Maryland, Virginia, Florida, and beyond. We provide you with a visual affirmation of who you are, so you can see yourself in a new light. Whether you're here to book a personal session at one of our pop-ups, or hire us for a corporate event, brand activation, or special celebration — we're here to help you shine.
An aura is the colorful energy field that envelopes our bodies and is part of the essence of our being. It can be described as our "vibe" — the energy we project, the frequency we carry. Aura photography provides a reflection of that energy, mirroring your vibrations and translating them into a stunning spectrum of color layered over your portrait.
Our aura colors have the ability to change, much like the ever-changing nature of our emotions, situations, and life stories. By embracing a deeper understanding of your current auric state, we hope to ignite a profound self-awareness within you — so you can move closer to where you feel you shine the most.
SHINE BRIGHT. SEE YOUSELF IN A NEW LIGHT.

How aura Photography works
Before your portrait session begins, we prepare the space and call in the highest vibrations to ensure your aura is captured in its purest form—so it can truly shine bright.
Upon arrival at your session, we’ll guide you through placing your hands on two silver hand sensors that measure the electromagnetic frequency radiating from your hands and fingers. Using a proprietary algorithm, your unique energy is matched to a color, and that color is then layered over your portrait as a dual exposure.
After your session, you’ll receive an aura color guide along with a brief personalized reading that reveals what the colors in your aura say about your energy in the present moment.
