We’re wanderers by nature. Rather than working from a traditional studio, Hado Being travels throughout California (and happily beyond) bringing the aura experience to unique and inspiring places. We always announce upcoming pop-up event details on our Instagram @hadobeing. Follow us to see where we’re popping up next and be the first to know when time slots are released!

A little bit of magic, a little bit of science. Our portraits are created using an analog AuraCam, it’s a specialized hand-built photographic system developed by Guy Coggins in the early 1980s. The camera utilizes two sterling silver hand sensors that gather your biomagnetic feedback, and other subtle energetic information through your hands and translate those findings into the vibrant colors that appear in your portrait.

The result is a one-of-a-kind visual keepsake that we hope invites you to celebrate the unseen beauty of you and connect a little deeper with yourself.

Booking your aura portrait session can be done here on our website. Simply select the desired pop-up location and book an available appointment. If you don’t see any available time slots, this may mean that booking hasn’t opened yet, or has already sold out. If you are unsure, send us a message!

We always leave a little room for walk ups, but appointments take priority so we recommend booking an appointment in advance, as some events fill up quickly, often before the event day.

Aura photography offers a rare opportunity to make the unseen tangible. Many people describe leaving their aura session surprised by how accurately their portrait reflects what they are feeling and experiencing in their lives. For some, it serves as a moment of validation or feeling seen. For others, it sparks new isights, meaningful conversations, or a deeper sense of self-awareness.

All sales are final. Due to our event based nature, we are unable to provide refunds or reschedule pop-up appointment bookings. If you are unable to make your appointment, you are welcome to send a friend in your place! They will just need to show us the email confirmation to use your appointment.

You can wear anything you want! Whatever you feel best in is great. If you can’t decide, a black or white top is always a good choice. Sometimes it can be hard to see your aura colors over busy patterns, so these make easy, good choices.

Since we are capturing your aura on film, each session will include one photo. If you would like to take more than one photo (for yourself, a friend, child, or companion) please book an additional consecutive session.

At most locations we can accommodate up to 2 people per photo, some setups allow us to get 3-4 people in the tent if you’re bringing your little ones along for a family photo, but this option may vary.

*Note that readings are slightly different with 2+ people as there are only 2 hand sensors and they were designed for an individual.

Absolutely, we love seeing the brilliant auras of kids! Babies and children under 5 may have to sit in an adult’s lap rather than taking a solo photo because the AuraCam uses a double/long exposure which requires the subject to sit still for up to 15 seconds.

*Note that if the little ones move, they may show up blurry or distorted and unfortunately we cannot retake photos since we are shooting on film.

Some event venues and set ups do allow us the option to take your aura portrait with your pet (usually on your lap) but if you’d like to bring your furry friend in with you, just send us a DM on Instagram to double check!

Yes! Aura photography is completely safe for pregnant women at all stages, who by the way usually display some incredibly radiant auras. 

YES! Just like us, our energy is constantly evolving, shifting and changing with us as we grow, heal, learn, feel, and move through new experiences. Some people shift more often or drastically than others, but we love an aura check in! Come in for an aura update as often as you’d like, when you feel things shifting or want a fresh perspective on your current energy!

We don’t view aura photography as fortune-telling or prediction. Instead, we see it as a powerful self-discovery tool—a snapshot of your energy in this moment, offering a unique perspective on where you are right now and the best ways to revel in, move through or harness that energy.
