“If you’ve ever thought, “I feel anxious in photoshoots,” this is for you. Almost every client starts a little unsure and most of the time, the issue isn’t confidence. It’s not knowing what to do and not having someone guide you through it.Here’s why our clients feel comfortable and like their photos:• We provide clear direction before the shoot, during consultation, and on set, so there’s no guessing.• We give you time to settle into your body, with space to move, pause, or reset when needed.• We pay close attention. If we sense tension, we adjust and help you feel at ease.You don’t need to arrive confident. You need a photographer who knows how to guide you there. Our clients leave feeling grounded, seen, and more at ease with the camera.For anyone considering a more guided experience, join our New Year, New You campaign, running January 23 – February 12.Send us DM or visit the link in bio for more information.📍@aaronjayyoung studio#photography #art #aestheticphotography #photographer #portaitoftheday #creative #expression #toptia #toptiaphotos #toptiaphotography #japan #photography #photographers #resilience #business #entrepreneurship #creatives #freelancer #headshot #photographerintokyo #tokyophotographer #headshotphoto

Do you feel seen and supported? And are you allowing others to lean on you?Many of the women I work with have led teams, built careers and businesses, raised families, crossed cultures, returned to work after time at home, and carried responsibility in more ways than one.Despite how much they’ve done professionally and personally, what many share is this: they don’t do it alone. They lean on their community. And they allow themselves to be leaned on. They know that strength doesn’t come only from independence. It’s also shaped by the relationships that hold you over time. The women who are resilient and thrive are rarely alone. They’re intentionally connected and aligned.As we move into the new year I encourage you to choose spaces where you feel aligned, understood, and supported. And spaces where you could add value to others.📸TOPTIA Home Studio#photography #art #aestheticphotography #photographer #portaitoftheday #creative #expression #toptia #toptiaphotos #toptiaphotography #japan #photography #photographers #resilience #business #entrepreneurship #creatives #freelancer #headshot #photographerintokyo #tokyophotographer #headshotphoto

Thinking about what to wear for your modeling portfolio? Here are a few ways to show range with intention.1. Bring different styles: casual, athletic, and formal. This helps clients and creative directors see how easily you adapt.2. Choose simple, neutral colors like white, nude, grey, or black. Neutrals photograph best and keep the focus on you.3. Incorporate different textures such as denim, leather, cotton, or satin. Texture adds visual interest without overwhelming the image.4. Well-fitted basics matter. They highlight your silhouette, which is an essential detail in modeling and often a key consideration for agents and clients.These small choices help keep your portfolio clean, professional, and versatile. And if you’re ever unsure about what to wear, that’s completely normal. We’ll decide together during the consultation, before the shoot.Curious about working with a Tokyo photographer? I’m happy to walk you through the process before you commit.📸 TOPTIA Home Studio

What makes you, you?Most people think a portrait is about posing. But the truth is, the most genuine moments aren’t staged at all.They happen when your shoulders finally loosen… When you stop trying so hard… When you let yourself simply be.They happen the second you forget there’s a camera and return to yourself. That’s the moment your real self surfaces. The version of you that carries your history, your growth, your resilience, your softness, your experiences. The version you don’t always see in the mirror, but others feel instantly.Your authenticity doesn’t need permission. It just needs space and we create that space for you.You deserve to be seen. Not filtered, minimized, or hidden, but captured with intention. If you’re ready to step in front of the camera, I’m here in Tokyo to capture the spark that’s uniquely yours.#photography #art #aestheticphotography #photographer #portaitoftheday #creative #expression #toptia #toptiaphotos #toptiaphotography #japan #photography #photographers #resilience #business #entrepreneurship #creatives #freelancer #headshot #photographerintokyo #tokyophotographer #headshotphoto

You deserve to look and feel this good. And sometimes, it takes stepping in front of the camera to remember that.So many women walk into the studio thinking they don’t know how to pose, that they’re “not photogenic,” or that they need to feel more confident before booking a session with me. But the moment they step into the studio and we take a few frames, something shifts within them and around them.The worries they carried in start to fall away. The things they were afraid of don’t matter anymore in front of the lens. The photoshoot they didn’t know they needed becomes a moment of coming home to themselves. A reminder that they are powerful, radiant, and worthy of being seen exactly as they are.It’s not just another photoshoot with a Tokyo photographer. It’s your permission slip to celebrate yourself — not someday, but today.📍TOPTIA Home Studio#tokyo #photographer #selflove
