I created Tiny Beginnings Co. after my own IVF journey - because I needed somewhere to hold those early images that felt worthy of what they meant. Every piece I make carries that same intention.
— Bodhi, founder of Tiny Beginnings Co.How it works
From your image to a piece you'll treasure — here's what to expect.
Share your image
Select your primary colour and any text inclusions (3-5 words MAX), and upload your ultrasound or embryo photo. Any quality works - we've worked with phone photos, scanner images, and clinic printouts.
We hand-create your piece
Your image is hand painted on 6-7mm wide wooden discs, with honey based pigments and acrylic paints. Every piece is unique - no two are ever identical.
Yours to keep forever
Your finished piece arrives gift-wrapped and ready to display - a permanent, hangable memory of your most precious beginning.
Made with intention
Each ornament is hand-painted on a 6–7mm laser-cut wooden disc, using a combination of watercolour and acrylic paints chosen for depth of colour and durability on timber. A small hole is drilled through the top and threaded with natural string, finished with two wooden beads that slide to adjust the hanging length — so your ornament sits beautifully on any tree, from a tabletop to a full-height Christmas tree. Like every piece in the Tiny Beginnings range, each ornament is made to order and painted by hand, meaning no two are exactly alike.
Love Notes
Every piece holds a story. Here are a few we have the privilege of carrying.
I honestly don’t even know where to begin. This piece is so much more than jewellery. The ultrasound necklace Bodhi created for me is something I will treasure for the rest of my life. The level of care, detail, and emotion she puts into her work is just incredible. She’s taken such a fleeting, sacred moment and turned it into something tangible, Something I can hold onto forever.
Received my image this week in the mail. And it's absolutely perfect. I love it so much. I've got it framed now and can't wait to hang it in our nursery. Such a talent and would highly recommend to be able to remember such a beautiful moment in time so tastefully. 💞
WOW the paintings have arrived and they are SOOOO beautiful!! Thank you so much. I can't wait to share them... trick is going to be keeping it a secret for a couple of months now. They are honestly even better than I could have imagined.
