Your Child is Already Growing Up Too Fast
Let's capture them at this belt, this age, this perfect moment, before it's gone.
These moments deserve more than quick smartphone snaps.
As a parent of a former Karate student myself, I have been in your shoes and regret that we did not have proper Karate portraits done.
Do you remember the day your child tied on that white belt for the first time? Those nervous smiles? That oversized gi that practically swallowed them whole?
But before you know it, they're breaking boards and executing perfect katas. That shy beginner transforms into a focused young martial artist right before your eyes.
These moments deserve more than phone snapshots, they deserve proper portraits that capture who they're becoming through karate.
Investment: $79 per session
*Session fees normally start at $250 for individual portraits.

MEET THE PHOTOGRAPHER
Hi, my name is Arvin
I run Pixel Medley, an independent photography service specialising in portraits. I've been a photographer for over a decade, but portraiture will always be my favourite. I love capturing people's true essence — not just their appearance, but who they really are.
Here's the thing: I'm a karate parent too. For years, my son trained at a Karate Dojo, and I was that parent on the sidelines every week, watching him grow from a nervous white belt into a confident black belt. It feels like just yesterday. Time has this sneaky way of moving far too quickly.
That's why I do what I do. I capture moments and preserve memories. Because while we can't slow down time, we can hold onto what matters most.
Here's the nitty-gritty: As a parent myself, I understand the importance of trust. That's why:
✓ I hold a current Working with Children Check
✓ Parents are welcome to stay as most kids are more relaxed that way
✓ Sessions happen at your familiar Dojo where your child feels comfortable
✓ I create a relaxed, fun atmosphere — no stiff, awkward poses
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out directly to contact@pixelmedley.com and I will get back to you within a couple of hours during business hours.
 
FAQ
How long does a session take?
Around 10 minutes. I work efficiently while making sure we capture your child's personality. We're not rushing, but we're also mindful that kids have limited patience for photos!
What should my child wear?
Their karate gi and current belt! We'll capture them in full uniform looking their absolute best.
Can siblings be included?
Absolutely! If siblings also train at the Dojo, we can capture individual portraits and group shots. Just get in touch and we can discuss pricing for multiple-child sessions.
What if my child is camera shy?
I specialise in working with subjects of all comfort levels. The session is relaxed, playful, and happens in the familiar Dojo environment where they already feel confident. Plus, when they're in their gi, they usually stand a bit taller anyway!
When will I receive the photos?
You will receive a link to a private gallery within three days. You will select your two favourite images and download them.
What if I would like more photos?
No problem, additional photos are available for purchase at $10 each. Please contact me directly to discuss.
How does the Dojo fundraising work?
A portion of every session fee goes directly to Shindo Karate Derrimut Heath to support equipment, tournaments, and opportunities for all students. You're investing in your child AND their Dojo community.
What if I have more questions about the session?
I've got you. Feel free to reach out directly to contact@pixelmedley.com and I will get back to you within a couple of hours during business hours.
