Aura Photography in Florida — Events, Pop-ups & Experiences Across the Sunshine State
Florida has always had a certain energy to it — vibrant, electric, and full of life. So it only makes sense that aura photography has found a home here.
Soulshine Aura has been steadily growing our presence across the Sunshine State, bringing our signature aura photography experience to some of Florida's most exciting events, brands, and venues. From South Beach influencer activations to university brand bazaars, we've been showing up across Florida in a big way — and we're just getting started.
Here's a look at what we've been up to in Florida and how you can be part of it.
Recent Florida Events
ResortPass x Valeria Lipovetsky — The Sunny, Miami Beach | May 2026
In May 2026, Soulshine Aura was thrilled to be part of an exclusive influencer event hosted by ResortPass in collaboration with lifestyle creator and entrepreneur Valeria Lipovetsky. The event took place at The Sunny hotel in North Beach, Miami — a stunning setting that was the perfect backdrop for aura photography.
Guests had the opportunity to sit down, connect with their energy, and walk away with a vibrant aura portrait — a one-of-a-kind keepsake from an unforgettable afternoon. It was exactly the kind of event we love being part of: intentional, beautiful, and full of good energy.
Shop TODAY Stages: The Leap x Zenni — University of Miami | April 2026
Earlier this spring, Soulshine Aura joined Zenni at the Brand Bazaar as part of Shop TODAY Stages' inspiring series, The Leap, held at the University of Miami. The Leap brings together students and famous alumni for an immersive experience designed to help the next generation prepare for the real world — complete with inspiring keynotes, brand activations, and everything in between.
We were proud to be part of such a meaningful event, capturing the auras of students stepping boldly into their next chapter. There's something incredibly special about photographing someone's energy at a moment like that — right on the edge of everything that's coming next.
Pop-ups Across the South Florida Metropolitan Area
Beyond private events and brand activations, Soulshine Aura hosts regular public aura photography pop-up events throughout the South Florida Metropolitan Area — including Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Palm Beach.
Our pop-ups are open to everyone — no private event required. Just show up, sit down, and see your soul in color. Each guest receives their aura portrait on the spot along with a comprehensive color guide to help them understand what their colors mean.
Pop-up spots fill up fast, so pre-booking is always recommended. Check our Appointments page for upcoming Florida pop-up dates and locations.
Bring Aura Photography to Your Florida Event
While our pop-ups are concentrated in the South Florida Metropolitan Area, our private event coverage spans the entire state. Whether you're planning a corporate event in Orlando, a brand activation in Miami, a bachelorette weekend in Palm Beach, or a private celebration anywhere across the Sunshine State — Soulshine Aura is ready to bring the magic to you.
Our Florida team is local to the South Florida area, fully mobile, and available for events of all sizes — from intimate gatherings of 15 to large-scale activations of 300+. We handle everything so you don't have to, and we'll get back to you within 24 hours of submitting an inquiry.

Aura Photography for Weddings
Picture cocktail hour. The bar's open, the music's soft, and in the corner there's a small line of people glowing — literally — as they hold up little Polaroids of their own light. Your maid of honor and her plus-one lean in to compare colors. Your uncle, who said he wasn't doing "the aura thing," is now very into the aura thing.
That's a wedding aura photography station. Part entertainment, part keepsake, part the most talked-about detail of your whole day — and every guest leaves holding theirs.
If you're looking for a wedding experience that isn't the same photo booth everyone's already seen, this is it.
What Aura Photography Is
Aura photography uses gentle hand sensors to read the energy your body radiates, then translates it into color — a glowing halo of light around your portrait. Place your hands down, hold still for a breath, and out comes a one-of-a-kind print, with a personalized reading of what your colors mean.
No two auras are alike. That's the part guests fall in love with — it feels less like a gimmick and more like being seen.
Why Couples Are Booking It
It's a favor people actually keep. Most wedding favors get left on the table. An aura Polaroid goes home, goes on the fridge, becomes a tiny memory of your day that your guests genuinely treasure.
It's entertainment that runs itself. Between the ceremony and the first dance, there are quiet stretches where guests are just… waiting. An aura station fills them — a destination people drift toward, a reason to mingle, a moment of delight that doesn't need a DJ announcement.
It gets everyone talking. The reading is a built-in icebreaker. Tables that didn't know each other are suddenly comparing whether they're more pink or more turquoise. It loosens a room better than an open bar (well — alongside the open bar).
It's beautiful content. Glowing, holographic, impossibly shareable. Your hashtag fills with your guests' auras, and your day lives on in everyone's stories.
The Couple's Aura — Two Souls, One Frame
Here's the one we love most for weddings.
Our setup can capture two people at once — which means you and your partner can sit for a single portrait and watch your two energies blend into one frame. It's the kind of keepsake that means something: your auras, side by side, on the day you became a we.
We hear it again and again — couples frame theirs. Violet and magenta swirling together, or pink meeting blue, or a quiet wash of white. Whatever your colors do that day, it's yours, captured in real film.
The Keepsake, on Real Film
Every aura comes out as an Instax Wide print — real film, developing right there in your guest's hands. It's warm and tactile, the kind of photograph you hold rather than scroll past. That little moment of watching the color appear is part of the magic, and the print that comes out of it is something people keep for years.
We can tuck each one into a custom holder with your names and date — a favor and a memory in one.
Where It Fits in Your Wedding Day
Couples place us a few different ways:
Cocktail hour:The sweet spot. It gives guests something enchanting to do while you're off taking portraits.
The reception lounge: A glowing corner people return to all night.
A late-night moment: A second-wind surprise when the dance floor needs a breather.
We're flexible, low-footprint, and easy to fold into your timeline — your planner will love how little we need.

Aura Photography for Corporate Events
There's a moment at every event we take part in. The line forms. Someone places their hands on the sensors, the room goes quiet, and a single Polaroid slides out — still developing, a halo of color blooming around their face. They hold it up. Someone else leans in. And just like that, your activation stops being a booth and becomes the thing people are gathered around.
That's what aura photography does at a corporate event. It turns passive attendees into participants — and it sends every one of them home with a keepsake that has your brand on it.
But a great aura activation isn't really about the camera. It's about who's running it, how the line feels, and whether your guests walk away with something they actually keep. That's where the Soulshine difference lives.
What Aura Photography Actually Is
Aura photography uses hand sensors to read the electromagnetic energy your body radiates, then translates that energy into color. Place your hands down, hold still for a breath, and the camera captures both you and your field — rendered as a glowing wash of light around your portrait.
Every aura is one of a kind. The colors map to mood, personality, the energy you're carrying in that exact moment — and our readers walk each guest through what theirs means. It's part portrait, part conversation, part tiny moment of being truly seen. At a corporate event, that last part is rarer than you'd think.
Why It Works for Brand Activations
Forget the listicle. Here's what your event actually needs to do, and how this delivers on each one.
It earns dwell time. Trade show floors and brand activations live and die by how long someone stays. An aura station holds a line — not a frustrated one, a curious one. People wait because they want to see their color, and while they wait, they're talking to your team and looking at your brand.
Every guest leaves with content they keep. Most event swag is in a hotel trash can by checkout. An aura Polaroid goes on a fridge, a desk, a mirror. It's the rare giveaway with a shelf life measured in years — and when you brand the photo holder, your logo lives right there with it.
It photographs itself. You don't have to beg people to post. A glowing, holographic portrait of their own energy is the kind of thing people share unprompted. Tag your activation, and the user-generated content rolls in on its own.
It speaks the wellness language. For employee appreciation days, wellness weeks, and culture moments, aura photography lands in exactly the right register — human, reflective, a little magic. Colleagues see how their energy reads side by side, and it opens up a kind of conversation the usual catered lunch never will.
The Soulshine Signature — Real Film, Real Keepsake
Here's what makes the moment land.
We shoot on real film. Each aura develops as an Instax Wide print right there in your guest's hand — warm, tactile, slightly imperfect in the way only a real photograph is. It's not a screen, not a digital download they'll forget in their camera roll. It's a physical thing they hold while the color blooms into view, and that little wait is half the magic.
A film print is a keepsake, not a printout. It goes on the fridge, the desk, the mirror — and when it's tucked into a photo holder with your logo, your brand goes right there with it. Months later, it's still on display. That's a shelf life most event swag can only dream of.
Brands We've Lit Up
We've brought Soulshine to activations for Capital One, Meta, Nordstrom, MGM, and Johns Hopkins — corporate teams, retail moments, wellness weeks, and brand events across the DMV. We know how to load into a high-rise, work a tight footprint, keep a line moving, and make every single guest feel like the experience was built for them. Full list of our recent partnerships can be found here.
That's the part that doesn't show up in a quote: the readers, the pacing, the care. It's why guests rave and why brands rebook.
Where We Bring the Light
Soulshine is based in Frederick, Maryland, with a studio you can visit and a fully mobile setup that travels across the DMV — Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia — for corporate events, pop-ups, and brand activations. We also activate in Florida, with growing roots in Orlando, Tampa, and Miami.
Wherever your event is, we bring the whole experience to you — camera, film, sensors, readers, and all.
How to Fold It Into Your Activation
A few ways brands get the most out of it:
Brand the takeaway. Custom photo holders with your logo turn every print into a tiny piece of branded content guests actually want.
Give it a hashtag. A simple campaign tag turns the natural share instinct into reach you can track.
Place it where the line helps you. Position the station near what you want people engaging with — it pulls traffic toward you, not away.
Let the reading do the talking. The color interpretation is the conversation starter your team can lean into. It's a warmer open than "Can I tell you about our product?"
FAQs
Is it safe? Does it touch anything invasive? Not at all. It's completely non-invasive — hands rest on sensors, the same gentle principle behind a fitness tracker. Nothing is scanned or beamed.
How long does each photo take?About a few minutes start to finish — capture, develop, and a short personalized reading. Lines move at a steady, happy pace.
How much space and power do you need? A compact footprint and a single standard outlet. We fit into trade show floors, office lobbies, and VIP lounges with ease.
Can you brand the photos? Yes — custom photo holders, your logo, your event branding. The print becomes a keepsake and a marketing piece in one.
Do you travel? We currently service the entire DMV and Florida — Orlando, Tampa, and Miami included. We love to travel outside of these places too. Just submit an event request and we can bring our set-up to you.
Let's Make Your Event the One They Talk About
If you're planning a corporate event, a product launch, a wellness week, or a brand activation anywhere in the DMV or Florida, Soulshine brings something guests genuinely remember — real film, real energy, and a keepsake with your name on it.

What is Aura Photography?
Aura photography is a portrait of your energy — the field of color that surrounds you — captured on real film. You rest your hands on a set of sensors, the camera reads the energy radiating from your body, and moments later it returns a one-of-a-kind portrait wrapped in the colors that are entirely your own. Simply you, your energy, and the quiet magic of analog film.
How Aura Photography Works
Each session unfolds in three steps.
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, 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.
Your aura is a reflection of where you are right now. Much like the ever-changing nature of your emotions, situations, and life circumstances, your colors have the ability to shift and evolve over time — and that is part of the beauty. Each portrait holds the energy of a single, present moment.
What Your Aura Colors Mean
Each color is associated with its own type of energy and personality. Here is a glimpse of what each one tends to express:
Red — grounded, passionate, and ready to act
Orange — sensual, adventurous, and full of life
Yellow — bright, curious, and optimistic
Green — healing, balanced, and growth-minded
Blue — calm, intuitive, and truth-telling
Indigo — perceptive, independent, and imaginative
Violet — visionary, spiritual, and deeply attuned
Pink — tender, loving, and harmonious
Magenta — bold, original, and unconventional
Turquoise — dynamic, intuitive, and a natural healer
White — pure, rare, and spiritually awake
(Tan and rainbow round out the full palette — thirteen colors in all.) It's important to note that colors, shapes, and color combinations all play a significant role in how an aura is interpreted, and not all meanings apply at once. To explore each shade in depth, visit our aura color meaning guide.
What to Expect From Your Aura Session
An aura session is a calm, almost ceremonial experience, and many people find it surprisingly moving. You'll leave with a tangible portrait in hand, a personalized reading of your colors, and the rare gift of seeing your own energy made visible. It photographs beautifully, which is why it has become a cherished addition to weddings, celebrations, brand activations, and corporate events alike.
Where to Experience Soulshine Aura
We bring the aura camera to you across Washington DC, Maryland, Virginia, and throughout Florida, and we welcome you in person at the Soulshine Studio in Frederick, Maryland. Whether you're visiting us at a pop-up or in our studio, or looking to book us for a corporate event, brand activation, wedding, or other special event, we would love to have you experience your soul in color.

What is An Aura?
An aura is the field of energy that surrounds every living thing. It is often described as your "vibe" — the energy you carry and project into the world — and it is considered part of the essence of who you are. While you can't see it with the naked eye, the idea is that each of us radiates a personal energy that reflects how we feel, what we've experienced, and where we are in life right now.
Where the Idea of an Aura Comes From
The concept of an aura has appeared across cultures and spiritual traditions for thousands of years. You can see it echoed in the glowing halos painted around sacred figures in religious art, in the idea of life-force energy found in many Eastern practices, and in the long-held belief that the body is surrounded by a subtle field of energy. Different traditions describe it in different ways, but the through-line is the same: that we are made of more than just the physical, and that energy is part of what makes each of us unique.
Your Energy in Color
When an aura is interpreted, it's most often expressed through color. Each color is associated with its own type of energy and personality, and many of these colors correspond to the chakras — the energy centers within the body. A red aura, for example, speaks to grounding and passion, while a violet aura points toward intuition and a connection to something greater.
Most people don't carry just one color. An aura is usually a blend, which is part of what makes it so personal — no two are ever quite the same. To explore what each color reveals, visit our aura color meaning guide.
Why Your Aura Changes
Your aura is not fixed. It has the ability to change, much like the ever-changing nature of your emotions, situations, and life story. The energy you carry on a calm, open day may look entirely different from the energy you carry during a season of stress or transformation. Rather than a permanent label, your aura is a reflection of where you are in a single present moment.
Can You See Your Aura?
While an aura isn't visible to the eye, aura photography offers a way to capture it. Using a specialized camera and hand sensors, your energy is read and translated into a spectrum of color layered over your portrait — giving you a tangible glimpse of the energy you carry.
Experience Your Soul in color
