This life was never meant to be experienced alone. Wherever you are, whoever you’re with, remember to connect with intention.
Some of the most meaningful moments in my journey as a photographer in Tokyo have come from building genuine community. Whether it’s fellow creatives, clients, or kind strangers turned friends; the connections we nurture shape who we become.
Not sure where to start?
1. Join a local class that aligns with your hobbies
2. Say yes to that networking event you’ve been eyeing
3. Make time for the people you love
4. Be kind to someone who crosses your path today
And if you're craving something more personal, a portrait session might be the perfect way to celebrate who you are in this season — as a creative, a couple, a founder, or a family. We offer headshots, lifestyle portraits, and so much more.

Also… can you believe we’re already in the second half of the year? I’m so excited to see what’s ahead for Toptia Photography and the beautiful people we’ll meet along the way.

Starting a new chapter in your business?
You’ve nailed your mission, picked your colors, built your website… but what about the face behind it all? Your brand is you! Your energy, your presence, your story. And how you show up visually is everything.
I work with entrepreneurs, creatives, and founders who want more than just a headshot. My branding sessions are designed to capture the confident, polished, and real version of you whether in the studio or on location. From bold portraits to behind-the-scenes moments, every image is created with the intention to reflect your essence and support your goals. Because strong branding isn’t just about looking good. It’s about building trust, connection, and showing the world who you really are.

Life asks so much of you. Deadlines, expectations and people who need you. Rooms where you have to speak up, hold back, lead, listen, nurture, deliver. And yet here you are showing up again and again, sometimes with grace, sometimes with grit, often with both. But in all the doing, don’t forget: you’re allowed to just be.
⠀
You are more than your role, more than your title, more than what you give to others. You are allowed to take up space. To wear the red dress. To walk into the room with presence, even if your voice shakes a little. You don’t need to wait for the “right” moment to be seen, appreciated, or captured. You are already enough.
⠀
Let this be your reminder: You’re not behind. You’re not too much. You’re not invisible.
So keep going, yes. But also: Pause. Exhale. See yourself.

There’s something truly special about meeting someone you click with. Not just on the surface, but on a deeper level: spiritually, emotionally, intellectually, and physically. It’s that rare connection where you enjoy each other’s company, laugh together, embrace each other’s quirks, and support one another’s dreams. It’s about respect, honesty, and choosing each other again and again; like the way a bee is naturally drawn to pollen.
I love capturing meaningful moments between couples and families, helping them preserve their stories through beautiful, timeless portraits. If you want to celebrate your bond with loved ones, book a couple or family session with us. And if it’s time to highlight your own unique story, don’t miss our Tokyo Headshot Marathon on July 12.

You are more than any title or role — more than model, artist, sister, entrepreneur, or friend. You are your story. Every triumph and every struggle, every imperfect moment and every victory, has shaped the person you are today. Life asks us to show up for ourselves, not just once, but again and again. To renew our commitment to our own growth, strength, and authenticity. Choosing yourself is a daily act of courage, love, and resilience.
Our Kintsugi Reclamation Project is a celebration of that journey — the healing that comes from embracing your cracks, the strength born from vulnerability, and the unique beauty that shines when you reclaim your story on your own terms. This project is for those who have lived fully; with wins and losses, challenges and breakthroughs. It’s for people who want to continue standing tall as their most authentic selves.
Reclaim your journey, celebrate your true self. Send us a DM us to learn more or save your spot.

You don't need a problem-free life to experience joy.
Joyful people aren't those whose paths are always smooth. Instead, they're the ones who consistently practice gratitude, even when life's uncertainties challenge them. It truly doesn't take much to cultivate this feeling. You don't need to wait for a significant achievement or a perfect moment to find something to be grateful for.
Joyful individuals have a wonderful habit of appreciating the very things we often take for granted. They're as thankful for a clear, sunny sky as they are for the soft rain. They embrace the cozy comfort of winter just as much as the liberating freedom of summer. They find beauty in spring's first blooms and the vibrant hues of autumn. In any situation, they'll discover a reason to feel grateful.
Let your authentic self shine through in our high-quality photography.

The direction is set. The feeling is yours to choose. So keep moving forward.
That’s what matters. As long as you’re alive, life keeps moving. Even when you're sitting still or fast asleep, time doesn’t pause. Your body, your story, your journey they continue, moment by moment. There’s no stopping until your chapter comes to a close. It doesn’t matter if you’re crawling, walking, or running. What matters is that you keep moving and that you do it at your own pace.
Since moving forward is inevitable, why not make it meaningful?
Choose to fill your life with things that inspire you. Invest in what brings you joy, growth, and purpose. You’ll move forward either way, so will it be with joy or sorrow? Hope or heaviness? Passion or apathy?
How you live and how you move is up to you. Don’t miss our Headshot Marathon on July 12.

What does it really mean to find yourself?
Isn’t it ironic? We live in our bodies our entire lives, and yet we still feel the need to “find ourselves. That’s because simply existing isn’t the same as truly knowing who we are.
Self-discovery begins when we step outside our comfort zones. When we explore, take risks, make mistakes, and grow. In those moments, we uncover strengths, talents, and parts of ourselves we never knew were there. Finding yourself means pushing your boundaries and climbing mountains you’ve never climbed before. When we take on tough challenges, we tap into a deeper well of strength that’s always been within us. Maybe that’s the true meaning of finding yourself.
Our photo sessions create space for you to be free, to explore, and to step out of your comfort zone.

What moments do you treasure the most in life?
When you finally hold the keys to your dream car? When you hold your baby for the first time? When you say, “I do”? When you graduate? Is it your wedding day, the day you finally land your dream job, or get into your dream school? Snapshots from your dream vacation?
It’s clear that our most treasured moments in life have more than just to do with money. Our dreams might have required a financial investment to realize, but the moments we treasure the most in life are priceless. There is no price you can put on our most treasured memories in life because we remember how they made us feel more than how much money we spent on them.
Whatever precious moments you are celebrating, you deserve to have those memories remembered, commemorated, and framed in the highest quality photography. Whatever role you have in society, whatever your career or your social standing, your moments are worth celebrating.
Let us help you capture your most treasured moments in life.

Isn't it amazing how black and white photographs captivate us as much as color? It's because "color" isn't just what we see with our eyes like red, blue, yellow, or green. Color is a feeling, a memory, a thought, a taste, a moment you cherish. It's incredible how a black and white photograph can draw your attention, make you pause, captivate you, and inspire you just as powerfully as a color photograph.
The true power in a photo lies not in the physical colors we see, but in the moment it captures. The memory framed is what makes a photograph captivating.
If you envision your best photos in classic black and white or vibrant color, we've got you covered.
