Hi, I’m Tia

I love photographing camera-shy clients into confident professionals who want to show their authentic selves.

  • She arrived feeling uncomfortable in front of the camera. She left with a new profile photo she couldn't wait to use. Here’s what my client had to say:“You and Kanako had a lot of patience and I'm grateful for that. Usually I don't feel comfortable in front of the camera and posing is totally unnatural for me.The session was very smooth. I liked very much the part of taking pictures while talking about what I want to do in the future, with the no-so-office-style outfit. It really reflects the elevated and dynamic style, but still being "me", I was looking for.I shared the picture I took from the screen of the camera with a few people and everyone had good words. I decided to put that picture as the main one on my work profiles, despite the corset. A bit of chic doesn't hurt anyone.”#toptia #toptiaportaits #photographerintokyo #photographer #tokyo
  • How many opportunities are passing you by because your photos no longer reflect who you are today? Before someone meets you, works with you, hires you, or invites you to speak, they often see your photo first.Your headshot is part of your personal brand. Still, many professionals continue using images that are years old, cropped from group photos, or simply no longer represent the person they've become. If you've grown your business, stepped into leadership, changed careers, launched a new venture, or are ready to show up more confidently in your industry, it may be time for your images to grow with you.That's why we're bringing back the Tokyo Headshot Marathon on July 25th.This one-day experience is designed for busy professionals who want exceptional results without committing to a full portrait session. In just 30 minutes, you'll receive expert guidance, professional makeup, and images designed to help you show up confidently wherever your personal brand is seen.DM "Headshot Marathon" for details or click the link in our bio to reserve your spot.#photographerintokyo #headshots #portraits #tokyophotographer #toptia
  • Hi, I’m Tia Haygood, an English-speaking Tokyo portrait photographer and the founder of TOPTIA Photography. Welcome to episode 3 of my Jiko Shokai series.In the previous episodes, I shared a little about who I am and my journey to Japan. In this episode, I’m taking things back to where it all began: my first camera and how I fell in love with photography.Photography has been part of my life for much longer than my business. What started as curiosity eventually became a way of connecting with people, preserving memories, and helping others see themselves in a different light. In this video, I share a little about those early beginnings and why photography continues to inspire me today.Question of the day: What sparked your interest in a hobby, passion, or career that you still enjoy today?See you in the next episode.#tiahaygood #toptiaphotography #jikoshokai #photographer #tokyo
