November is here and apparently we have a thing for being everywhere at once.

Between studio days, public pop-ups, and private events that keep us on the road more often than not, we’re making our way around this month.

A little heads up: we’re frequently traveling for private events across the country, which means our studio hours change from week to week. Always check our calendar before making the trip!

CATCH US OUT IN THE WILD
11.01 | Hunter House Victorian Museum | 10–4 | SOLD OUT
11.07 | Sirens at Sunset at Atlantic Park Surf | 3–7 PM
11.21 | Edgar Cayce’s A.R.E. Holiday Bazaar | 10–5

Pre-booking for public events is HIGHLY recommended. We love a spontaneous aura moment, but availability at pop-ups can be limited.

OR COME HANG AT THE STUDIO
301 25th Street, Virginia Beach, VA 23451

Just a block back from the Virginia Beach Oceanfront. Walk-ins are always welcome during studio hours! Come get your aura photographed, browse around, and see what your energy has to say.

To the stars who listen and the dreams that are answered.

A little Night Court magic came to life with Flourish Books | Mobile Romance Bookshop | Virginia Beach , and we got to spend the evening capturing the energy of some very devoted ACOTAR fans.

Auras, books, a little bit of magic, and a whole lot of main character energy.

Still waiting for our invitation to Velaris, but this was pretty close.

Have you been by the studio lately? 🪩🌈

We’re always adding new things to our little corner of the Virginia Beach Oceanfront. Ritual goods, candles, cleansing tools, metaphysical gifts, books, spiritual literature, and all kinds of curious little finds. Some things for your practice, some for your space, and some just because they make you happy.

And of course, we’re still doing what we do best. Aura photos! Our Standard Aura Photography sessions are available for walk-ins any day we’re open. No appointment necessary.

📍 301 25th Street | Virginia Beach Oceanfront

We’re open most Thursdays through Sundays, but sometimes the aura show hits the road for private events and activations. Check the studio calendar at auratheory.com before making the trip!

Went to a holotropic breathwork class this morning and apparently my subconscious decided we were taking a little trip down memory lane.

So, here’s a little Aura Theory origin story.

The year was 2017. I was working for lululemon in Austin, Texas, when I had my first aura photo taken during an in-store activation. I was immediately obsessed.

Naturally, I slid into Carrie’s DMs approximately 24 hours later. And then again. And probably several more times until she eventually hired me.

To this day, I genuinely don’t know if she needed the help or just wanted me to stop messaging her. Either way, I’m forever grateful she took a chance on me. Thank you MOOD Aura Nomad

Around this same time, I was also diving headfirst into art and entrepreneurship. I opened a little retail shop inside a 1969 Shasta camper, which eventually turned into two retail spaces, one in the Shasta and another in an Airstream. Because apparently one vintage camper full of inventory wasn’t enough.

There was a lot of experimenting, making things up as I went, meeting incredible people, and saying yes to things I had absolutely no idea how to do yet.

Eventually, life took me from Austin to Colorado, and in 2022, I packed up everything I’d learned and brought the aura arts back home to Virginia Beach. Aura Theory was born, and we’ve been operating independently ever since.

Almost a decade later, I’m still just as fascinated by this work as I was the first time I sat down in front of that camera.

It’s pretty wild to look back and realize how much of your life can unfold from one seemingly random experience. The people you meet, the things you try, the doors you knock on (repeatedly, in my case).

Anyway, shoutout to breathwork for reminding me that I’ve been following my curiosity and mildly harassing people into giving me opportunities since 2017.

10/10 would do it all again. 🪩
