Kintsugi Reclaimation 2026 Sponsorship Deck

What was the moment in your life when you realized you had changed and there was no going back? Was it a rude awakening? Sometimes life has its own way of pushing you back to yourself. Was it the moment you could no longer silence that inner voice? When shrinking felt heavier than standing tall? Or was it the day you realized the only real choice left was choosing yourself?There comes a moment in a woman’s life when she feels the shift in her body and in her heart. In the way she says no without apology. In the way she stops making herself smaller so others can feel comfortable. This kind of change does not come from theory. It comes from living, surviving and rebuilding. From choosing yourself again and again when it would have been easier not to. It looks like self-respect. Like boundaries that once felt impossible. Like a voice that no longer trembles when it speaks the truth. Like a body that no longer freezes. Like knowing what you deserve and refusing to negotiate it. Sometimes it looks like rage. And that too is sacred.Working as a Tokyo portrait photographer has given me a front-row seat to these moments. I have heard stories from women of every background. Stories of strength, ambition, heartbreak, reinvention, and self-love. Sometimes the story unfolds before the camera even clicks. Sometimes it happens in the stillness between frames. When women step in front of my lens, we witness the woman who fought to be there. The session becomes a visual affirmation of her strength, her choices, and her becoming.#tokyo #photographer #womanhood #sisterhood #womeninbusiness

Give yourself credit for the climb, not just the summit.Have you ever thought about climbing Mount Fuji? What comes to mind first? The summit, the photo at the top, or the feeling of finally standing there? Anyone who has actually climbed it knows the journey is made of stations. It is a steady climb with changing weather, shifting energy, and moments of doubt. There are moments when you feel capable and certain you will make it. Then there are times when you slow your pace, question your strength, and wonder how much farther you have to go. You reach Station 7 and realize you might be there longer than you expected.In life and in business, we are often taught to celebrate only the summit. The promotion, the launch, the income goal and the award. As if those are the only moments that matter. But real growth happens in all the in-between moments too. The courage it took to begin. The consistency you kept when no one was watching. The resilience you showed when you felt like you were falling short. The decisions that shaped who you are becoming.Your journey deserves to be appreciated along the way, not just at the peak. Maybe everything has not lined up perfectly yet. Maybe you are not at the summit. Maybe you are at your own Station 7. That is still something to celebrate. Work with a photographer in Tokyo who understands that your climb matters just as much as your summit. Many of our clients chose to celebrate their journey in the middle of becoming, not just at the finish line.

It’s almost the end of January 2026… TWENTY TWENTY SIX. This month went faster than the Shinkansen from Tokyo to Osaka.So before we rush into February, I want to do a little monthly check-in with you. What went well this month? What do you want to change next month?Because I know how it is… when you’re a creative, a professional, or a woman building something of your own, life becomes go-go-go without even asking your permission.And yes, ambition is beautiful but so is slowing down long enough to reflect. So if nobody told you this yet: I’m proud of you for showing up this month. Even if it wasn’t perfect, even if it was messy and even if you were tired.One month down… 11 more to go. And before I go, I just want to say what I’m grateful for.I’m grateful for you. This Instagram community that shows me love, support, and encouragement in ways you probably don’t even realize. Being a photographer in Tokyo can feel like nonstop motion… but connecting with likeminded people like you, is one of the things that keeps me grounded.So thank you for being here. Thank you for being part of this space. See you in February. 💗#tokyo #photography #photographer #toptiaphotography #photographerintokyo
