A Studio Built for the Moment
The sessions happen in AuraCool's own private studio at 147 Front Street, right in the heart of Dumbo. It's a stylish, welcoming space designed to feel like a place you'd want to linger, not a folding table shoved into a corner. Plush seating, a speaker playing something good, the temperature dialed in so nobody's standing around in a coat. For groups that can't make it to Brooklyn, AuraCool also brings the whole setup on the road. Either way, the studio itself is part of the draw. It photographs beautifully, and it sets the tone before a single aura photo gets taken.
How the Experience Actually Works
Every guest gets their own individual aura photo and reading, and the studio can accommodate up to 20 people in one session. Beyond solo shots, AuraCool does duo photography for best friends, sisters, couples, or any two people who want a shared portrait, plus pet aura photography and reiki sessions for anyone who wants to go a step further. Each photo comes back instantly printed on Polaroid, with a digital version available to share, and every guest walks away with a personalized reading based on their specific energy field along with an aura color guide card to take home. The team is also happy to grab a few group shots on your phone while they're at it, so you're not choosing between the professional keepsake and the casual crew photo.
Why Groups Keep Coming Back For This
This is where AuraCool really separates itself, because the group read is not an afterthought. The studio was built for exactly this kind of gathering, comparing the auras across a whole group and talking through the similarities, the differences, and how those energies might actually be playing out in the way everyone interacts. People consistently leave having learned something new about themselves or about someone standing right next to them. It works for bachelorette parties and bridal showers, birthdays, baby showers, family reunions, or just a small group of friends who want to do something together that isn't dinner and drinks again. Bachelorette crews in particular have found it's a rare activity everyone actually wants to do, low effort to plan, high payoff for the group, and it photographs like nothing else on the itinerary.
