see yourself in color
private parties
weddings & special events
pop-up aura events
Gather your people. See your colors.
Turn your birthday, bachelorette weekend, girls' night, retreat or intimate gathering into something everyone will be talking about long after the party ends.
We bring the complete Desert Auras experience to you. Each guest sits for their individual aura portrait, watches their colors appear, receives their keepsake photograph and later receives their digital portrait and personalized 9-page aura report by email.
It's part photo booth, part conversation starter and part glimpse into something you don't normally get to see.
Private Aura Parties begin at 8 guests.
Larger groups are welcome and we'll help determine the appropriate booking length based on your guest count.
To inquire or book:
Email desertauras@gmail.com with your preferred date, location and approximate number of guests.
A non-refundable deposit is required to reserve your date.
Give your guests something they've never done before.
Forget another ordinary photo booth.
Desert Auras is an interactive guest experience and a personalized favor rolled into one — something guests can participate in throughout your event and leave with a completely unique portrait of their own energy.
Perfect for:
Weddings • Corporate Events • Hotel Experiences • Retreats • Conferences • Private Celebrations • Brand Activations • Festivals
Our mobile aura setup can photograph approximately 6–8 guests per hour, making it easy to determine the right amount of coverage for your event.
Every photographed guest receives:
✦ Their instant aura photograph
✦ A digital version
✦ Their personalized 9-page digital aura report
Event Booking
Large-event bookings have a 3-hour minimum.
Event pricing is based on booking length, location and estimated guest participation. Additional hours may be added when available.
To receive an event quote, email desertauras@gmail.com with:
Your event date • Venue/location • Type of event • Approximate guest count • Desired number of hours
A non-refundable deposit is required to reserve your date, with the remaining balance due prior to the event.
Because aura photography is performed individually, guest counts are estimates rather than guarantees. Desert Auras cannot guarantee that every attendee at a large event will be photographed within the reserved time. We will help you choose an appropriate booking length based on anticipated participation.
Travel outside the Santa Fe area may incur an additional travel fee.
Final setup requirements, arrival time, access to the venue and other event details will be confirmed prior to your event.
