Tokyo Portrait Photographer, Photographer in Tokyo

Hi, I’m Tia

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

@toptiaphotos

  • We’d love to welcome you into the studio! A space where you feel comfortable, confident, and celebrated. We keep things relaxed, fun, and completely tailored to your liking. From the first shot to the final reveal, we’re with you every step of the way. Our favorite part of any shoot is when you take a look at the camera screen and realize just how stunning you look.Swipe through to see a little peek behind the scenes of our latest studio session!#toptia #toptiastudio #tokyophotographer #photographer #tokyo
  • Hi, I’m Tia Haygood. I’m a portrait photographer with studios in Tokyo and Kawaguchi, Saitama, and I genuinely believe everyone deserves at least one set of photos they absolutely love.My sessions are relaxed, full of conversation, and designed to help you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Over the years, I’ve helped camera-shy clients fall in love with being photographed, supported creatives in building portfolios and preparing for castings, helped professionals elevate their personal brands, and celebrated countless milestones alongside my clients.While my clients love their portraits, what they often remember most is how they felt during the experience. For some, it’s an act of self-care. For others, it’s a reminder to put themselves first, celebrate how far they’ve come, or simply see themselves with fresh eyes.I’d love to welcome you into the studio and create portraits that remind you just how incredible you are.#toptia #toptiaportaits #tokyophotographer #photographer #tokyo
  • Truth be told, back on day one, my “vision” was mostly a dare to myself. At 26, I just wanted to see if I could build a business before hitting 30! Now, with my 20s behind me and my 30s coming to a close, I’m filled with so much gratitude for every step of this path.Over the years, that simple challenge grew into something much bigger and my real purpose took root. I realized that we spend so much time being our own harshest critics, chasing perfection or trying to fit an ideal that we forget how valuable we already are. My mission with TOPTIA Photography is to give you the confidence, strength, and permission to see yourself in a beautiful light.#toptia #toptiaportaits #tokyophotographer #photographer #tokyo
  • When you invest in portraits, you're rarely investing in photos alone. You're investing in seeing yourself differently, beyond the version of yourself you see every day.We live such busy lives, and for many of my clients, their portrait session becomes a rare opportunity to slow down and simply be present. It's a chance to reconnect with themselves, rediscover their confidence, and remember that they are beautiful, worthy, and deserving of taking up space.When a client tells me their session became an act of self-discovery and empowerment, that's the true value of working with me. The portraits are simply the reminder they get to take home. Portraits have the power to transform not just how we look, but how we see ourselves.I'd love to help you experience that for yourself.#toptia #toptiaportaits #photographerintokyo #photographer #tokyo

  • Things I get up to when I’m not doing photoshoots! When I’m not behind the camera capturing portraits at TOPTIA Photography, you can usually find me travelling, attending events, being a cat mama and experimenting in the kitchen. A while ago, I decided to make my very own traditional Umeboshi (salted pickled plums) but with a fun twist! We infused one batch with Liquid Gold Sake and another with Absolute Vodka. Watch as @nobue_doi and I take the ultimate taste test!If you visit the studio you might just get to try a piece of homemade Japanese tradition yourself! Found this interesting? Wait until you see what I made for part two... hint: no actual plums were used! Stay tuned!#photographer #tokyo #japaneseculture #japanesefood #japanesesake
  • Welcome to TOPTIA Photography! I’m starting a 21 Questions series so you can get to know a little more about me, the studio, and the story behind my studio.Q: Why did I become a photographer?
The spark actually came from my grandmother. Growing up, she was our family photographer, always capturing our favorite moments. I’ll never forget her little camera—it was literally shaped like a chocolate bar! Seeing her preserve our memories inspired me to pick up a camera and do the same for others.Q: How did I choose the name TOPTIA?
I actually had a little help! My very first client, the wonderful Helen Iwata, helped me blend English and Japanese concepts to create it. “Tia” comes from tier (meaning levels), symbolizing top-level photography and a commitment to excellence.Stay tuned for Part 2.
