About Tia

Have you ever said this to a photographer?

”I’m not good at taking pictures.”

”I’m not young anymore.”

Clients who shy away from being photographed feel empowered and ready to see themselves in a new light. Her mission is to coach clients of different ages, body types, and ethnicities in posing, expression, and styling to create images of themselves they have never seen before.

The TOPTIA Photography team is here to serve and empower you. Helping you build your self-value is why we do what we do.

Tia provided a remarkable and memorable experience for me and my family. She was patience, flexible, and accommodating. Her astounding skills captured moments with incredible precision, making the entire experience truly amazing. She helped us organize our kimono rentals and translated for us any language barriers. Her service from start to finish was carefully thought out and personalized. I never felt rush during the initial consultation, photoshoot, or during the review of my photos.
