CREATE WITHIN - By Appointment — Local services in Seattle

I booked an Aura Aura session for myself and my partner from the website and it was an excellent gift to ourselves. I’ve been very curious to try this experience and I’m thrilled that Create Within has established a permanent location in Seattle. The studio is beautiful, serene, and we found it easily with the directions provided. The whole process takes a relatively short amount of time (about 30 minutes for the two of us) and the reading was really enjoyable. Alex was a lot of fun to work with and provided a detailed explanation of auras and the colors that showed up in each of our portraits. I highly recommend returning to the website afterwards too, because the descriptions there are a little more detailed than the card provided with your portrait. The added insight enhanced our understanding of what our portraits communicate.

Overall, I’d recommend a session for anyone interested in auras or even curious skeptics. It would make a great gift for a friend or loved one! It’s a fun experience and we both learned something new about ourselves in the process. We are already looking forward to returning for another session to see how our auras evolve!

Update 12/19: We've purchased several aura sessions as gifts over the last six months and just returned for our second individual sessions. Alex remembered us right away and we were able to discuss the changes in our portraits. This was just as fun the second time around and we'll...

This was my first time ever doing an aura photo, I’m not from Seattle, so when I saw the location of where it was I got a little nervous because parking is always a nightmare. I was so worried I was going to be late & the person wasn’t going to be understanding. My boyfriend and I basically ran to our appointment out of stress of missing our time slot but once we had arrived at the location the vibe completely changed. Our photographer, I think his name was Alex, was soooo understanding, so calm & very welcoming. He greeted us right away, wanted us to get comfortable and walked us through what to expect. It was really quick but it was so so worth it, he did a great job explaining the meanings & how everything worked. I would love to go back sometime. On top of all that his voice was so soothing which made my stress basically disappear, so thankful I got this experience for my birthday and would recommend this to everyone either alone or with your partner!

Will be back next...

Booked 2 back-to-back sessions with Alex for the Aura photograpy, 1 solo session and 1 couple session with my fiancé. The location of the study can be tricky to find because of the numbering of units within the building, but Alex's email has detailed instructions + pictures that will make it easy. Definitely read the email he sends prior to your session and allow a little time for parking in the area. The studio space is super bright and full of good energy. After a brief description of how the process would go, we too our photos. Afterwards Alex sat with us and walked us through the meaning of the colors in each picture plus after-care instructions for allowing your picture to dry and not get damaged. This may seem a little "woo woo" to some, but it was a fun way to capture a moment in time. If you're looking for something fun to do, I'd highly recommend buying a session for yourself or gifting one to...
