Headshot Showcase

March 20, 2020
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.

  • When clients book a photoshoot, they expect beautiful portraits and headshots. Part of my job as a portrait photographer is capturing images my clients love and can confidently use to support their goals. But what often surprises people is the transformation that happens.It can begin before the session, unfold during the experience, or reveal itself when they finally see their portraits. I've watched clients walk away feeling more confident, and more connected to themselves than they have in years. Sometimes they've spent so much time taking care of everyone else, building careers, raising families, or pursuing goals that they've forgotten to see themselves fully. Then they see their portraits and they're reminded of their beauty and the person they've always been.#toptia #toptiaportaits #photographerintokyo #photographer #tokyo
  • Pampered, celebrated, and photographed with care. This could be you. Imagine having a day dedicated entirely to you. A few hours to slow down, unwind, and be taken care of. This is your chance to step away from the demands of everyday life and into a space where you are the focus.With professional hair and makeup, expert guidance, and a luxury portrait experience tailored to you, every detail is designed to help you feel your absolute best. And when the session is over, you’ll walk away with stunning portraits you’ll be proud to share, and treasure for years to come.MUA: @nobue_doi#photographer  #photographerintokyo #tokyo #toptia #toptiastudio
  • We're getting excited!

We're looking forward to helping you create headshots that feel polished, professional, and authentically you.Didn't secure a Headshot Marathon session this time? Don't worry. Our signature headshot sessions are available year-round and offer a more personalized experience with additional time, flexibility, and image options. The Headshot Marathon may only happen once, but showing up confidently in your brand doesn't have to wait.DM "Headshots" to learn more about our regular headshot sessions.#photographerintokyo #headshots #portraits #tokyophotographer #personalbranding
  • “Should I hide my features or highlight them?”. I see this dilemma a lot. Sometimes, clients come in wanting to conceal parts of themselves they feel self-conscious about their athletic upper body, muscular thighs, or curves. But as a photographer, my goal isn’t to make you blend in or hide behind oversized clothes. My goal is to help you lean into what makes you unique.Fitted clothing goes a long way in framing your silhouette, and the right posing can showcase your strength and shape with ultimate confidence. Instead of hiding, we can find inspiration in what makes your body incredible and celebrate it on camera.Don’t hide your body. Lean into it, flatter it, and let what makes you unique shine through.#photographerintokyo #toptiatips #portraits #tokyophotographer #toptia

  • What happens when you invest in a portrait session with TOPTIA Photography? You get a dedicated team that studies your personal style, your icons, and what makes you tick. That intentional preparation turns camera anxiety into instant flow, resulting in portraits that are authentic and help you stand out.Don’t just take our word for it. Here is what the lovely Emi Y. had to say about her session:“I had such a great time, the whole session went by so quickly. Because you were so thoughtful about bringing out my “Emi-ness” and guiding me along the way, I didn’t feel nervous at all, and everything flowed so smoothly. It felt wonderful to be photographed in clothes I truly love. Also, it meant a lot to me that you and Kanako took the time to check out my admiration for Miki Nakatani beforehand.”— Emi Y.#toptia #toptiaportaits #photographerintokyo #photographer #tokyo
  • Hi, I’m Tia Haygood, an English-speaking Tokyo portrait photographer and the founder of TOPTIA Photography. Welcome to episode 4 of my Jiko Shokai series. In the previous episode, I shared the story of my first camera. In this episode, I’m talking about how TOPTIA Photography came to be.What started as photographing a friend in Tokyo became the beginning of my business journey. An opportunity to photograph an event opened a door I never expected, bringing with it plenty of surprises, challenges, and valuable lessons. Around that time, I made a promise to myself: before turning 30, I would give myself permission to take risks and pursue something I truly loved. For eight months, I dedicated myself fully to photography and discovering what was possible.Looking back, those early experiences laid the foundation for the business and purpose that continue to guide TOPTIA Photography today.#tiahaygood #toptiaphotography #jikoshokai #photographer #tokyo
