Hi, I’m Tia

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

ib: @aaronjayyoungIf you’re wondering how a portrait comes together this series gives you a closer look at what shaped the portrait beyond the final image. I’ll be sharing the intention behind the session, what we were creating toward, and some of the story that made the portrait feel meaningful.What I love most about this work as a Tokyo portrait photographer is that every portrait holds a different story. It could be someone embracing who they are more fully, reclaiming themselves after a breakup or divorce, or creating images that match the level they have grown into. I want this series to help you connect more deeply with the portrait and with the why behind it.What part of the video resonated with you most?#toptia #toptiaportaits #toptiabehindtheportrait #photographer #tokyo

It’s completely normal to feel nervous, self-conscious, or just not ready to be photographed. The last thing you want when you’re not feeling your best is a camera pointed at you! We know that our clients are navigating a lot emotionally, physically, and in their careers. Because of that, we never expect you to be "perfect" or to pretend you're okay.A photo session with us is less about forcing things and much more about reconnecting with who you are. While many of our clients arrive with doubts, they leave feeling relieved, confident, and fully seen. For some, that transformation within begins before the session even starts.You don’t need to wait until you feel "ready." You are already enough, exactly as you are right now. My ultimate goal is for you to realize that through this experience and to walk away with the portraits that prove it.#photographerintokyo #headshots #portraits #tokyophotographer #toptia

“How do I pose for my body type?” I hear this all the time during my consultations. So many women with gorgeous curves come into my studio feeling unsure of how to move in front of the camera, or wanting to hide.In this video, I’m breaking down simple tricks you can try at your next shoot, like creating space between your arms and body, and leaning gently to highlight your natural shape.Your curves are beautiful, and you deserve portraits that make you look and feel incredible.#photographerintokyo #toptiatips #portraits #tokyophotographer #toptia

One of the greatest compliments a photographer can receive is when a client comes back. These portraits are of a client I first photographed over 10 years ago. Seeing him return for another session was a reminder of why I love what I do and how my clients trust me even a decade later.Every portrait session begins with a vision. Sometimes clients know exactly what they want. Other times, they simply want to feel more confident, professional, or like themselves in front of the camera. My role is to listen, understand what matters most to them, and create images that reflect who they are.#toptia #toptiaportaits #photographerintokyo #photographer #tokyo
