You've been telling yourself you'll do it when you feel better. When you look better. When things settle down. But life doesn't really work that way, does it? It just keeps moving. Through breakups, through body changes you're still making peace with, through the messy middle of figuring out who you're becoming. None of it pauses so you can catch your breath first. And somewhere in all of that, you're still showing up.Our Self Love Legacy Portraits are about capturing this version of yourself, not some future version you think you need to become first. The one in the thick of it. The one who's been through something real and is still standing.You don't need to feel ready for a photoshoot. You just need to know that this chapter of your life, however hard or uncertain or unresolved, is worth remembering too.#toptia #toptiaselfloveportraits #photographerintokyo #photographer #tokyo

Hi, I’m Tia Haygood, an English-speaking Tokyo portrait photographer and the founder of TOPTIA Photography. Welcome to episode 2 of my Jiko Shokai series. I started this series as a way to share more of who I am beyond the portraits I create.I’m often asked why I moved to Japan and what it is about the country’s history and culture that inspires me so deeply. I hope this video gives you a little more insight into that side of me and my journey. I’d love to hear if anything in this video piqued your interest about Japan, about me, or about the heart behind my business.See you in the next episode.#tiahaygood #toptiaphotography #jikoshokai #photographer #tokyo

Showing up as a business owner or creative can bring up a lot. It is vulnerable putting your face, your work, and your name out there. Sometimes the hardest part is not even creating. It's allowing yourself to be seen.It gets even more frustrating when you technically have photos, but none of them feel right. So you keep delaying the Instagram post. You hold off on the website update. You know you need to show up, but that one small thing keeps creating resistance. That is why this work matters.A portrait session with me is about creating images you can actually use as visual assets for your brand. Images that support your visibility, make it easier to share your work, and help you speak about what you do with more ease. When the right images are in place, there is relief. You are no longer scrambling for what to post because you feel confident in being seen.DM Portraits to begin.#toptia #toptiaportaits #photographerintokyo #photographer #tokyo

Something I hear a lot after a photoshoot…"I was so nervous beforehand but I actually had fun?" That's kind of the whole goal honestly. Most people assume their biggest fear is whether the photos will turn out great. But what really holds people back is how they think it's going to feel. Awkward, cringe or maybe uncomfortable.What I've built over 10+ years is a process that starts long before shoot day so that by the time you're in front of my camera, you actually feel 50% ready. And don't just take my word for it, my client's review says it better than I ever could. If you've been putting off booking because you're dreading the experience…this is your sign that it really can feel different.Not sure yet? Send me a message to find out more.#toptia #toptiaportaits #photographerintokyo #photographer #tokyo

Hi, I’m Tia Haygood, an English-speaking Tokyo portrait photographer and the founder of TOPTIA Photography.For over 10 years, I’ve had the joy of photographing people here in Japan with care, intention, and heart. Through this work, I’ve met entrepreneurs, creatives, executives, and incredible people whose stories have stayed with me.For a long time, I stayed behind the scenes, letting my work and my clients take the spotlight. But this year, I want to share more of myself too. My story, my perspective, and the heart behind why I do this work.So I’m starting with this Jiko Shokai series. In Japanese, jiko shokai means self-introduction, and this feels like my way of inviting you to know me beyond the photos.What stood out to you in this video? I’d love to hear in the comments.#tiahaygood #toptiaphotography #jikoshokai #photographer #tokyo
