HADO BEING
At Hado Being, our mission is to create experiences that inspire self-awareness, meaningful connection, and personal growth.
Whether you encounter us at a neighborhood coffee shop, a luxury hotel, a wellness event, or a once-in-a-lifetime celebration, our goal is the same: to offer a moment of perspective — an opportunity to pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself.
We believe that self-discovery is an ongoing journey, and sometimes a single photograph can become a powerful reminder of who you are, where you’ve been, and who you’re becoming. We’re not here to tell you who you are — We’re here to offer a unique perspective that invites you to discover more for yourself.
Who We Are
More Than Aura Photography
Hado Being creates immersive aura photography experiences that invite people to see themselves in a new light. Through a blend of aura portraits, intuitive aura readings, and meaningful conversation, we create experiences that are equal parts art, self-discovery, and human connection.
Each aura portrait captures a unique moment in time, offering a visual reflection of the energy, emotions, and essence you carry with you. More than a photograph, it's an opportunity to pause, reflect, and connect with yourself in a meaningful way.
A Little Of Our Story
The Heart of Hado Being
Hado Being was founded by Traci Akin after receiving her first aura photograph in 2016. Captivated by the way a single image could inspire conversation, insight, and self-discovery, what began as curiosity soon evolved into a passion for creating experiences that help people see themselves from a new perspective.
Inspired by the unseen aspects of the human experience, Traci set out to transform aura photography into something more than a portrait. Every session is designed to spark curiosity, encourage reflection, and create a lasting memory.
Today, Hado Being is a female-operated family business led by sisters Traci and Jennifer. Together, they bring thoughtfully curated aura photography experiences to luxury hotels, corporate events, weddings, festivals, private celebrations, brand activations, and pop-up experiences, creating memorable moments that leave a lasting impression for every guest.
We Are All Connected, We Are All Hado Beings.
The word Hado (ha-dough) is a Japanese term meaning “vibration” or “wave.” It reflects a simple belief that every person carries a unique energetic presence that influences how they experience and move through the world.
At Hado Being, we create aura portrait experiences that help people explore that energy in a tangible and meaningful way. Through aura photography and personalized interpretation, we invite curiosity, self-reflection, and a deeper connection to yourself. We believe self-awareness is one of the most powerful tools for personal growth, and that every person is continually evolving.

First Aura Experience
“It was such an unexpected but amazing experience!! I went into it open minded. It was truly amazing what was brought to light as it was EVERYTHING I was feeling and worrying about. You hit every ounce of it on the head! It was emotional and comforting at the same time. It also was very validating for what I had been feeling!! I think EVERYONE should get this done at least ONCE! I’m ready to come get another one!!”
