Pink Elephants Memorial Keepsake Painting - Ultrasound or Embryo
It’s believed that when a mother elephant loses her baby, the other elephants stand in a circle around her, allowing her all the time she needs to grieve and mourn.
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

Supporting something special
5% of every sale is donated to The Pink Elephants Support Network — so no family has to walk the journey of miscarriage and pregnancy loss alone.
Created in support of the #CircleOfSupport
When a mother elephant loses her baby, the herd encircles her - using their trunks to form a physical circle of support.
From this image, The Pink Elephants Support Network was born. Founded in Sydney in 2016, this registered Australian not-for-profit was built on a single belief: no one should walk the journey of miscarriage and pregnancy loss alone.
This listing has been created in support of that mission. For every painting purchased here, 5% is donated to The Pink Elephants Support Network to help fund their free peer support program - delivered with evidence, empathy and connection - for parents across Australia.
Whether you are commissioning a watercolour from your only ultrasound, an embryo from a cycle that didn't take, or a piece to honour a baby who was here only briefly - your loss matters. Your baby matters. And your story deserves to be remembered. Each painting is hand-painted in watercolour from your image, made to order in Melbourne with care, comes framed, and posted to you in keepsake-quality packaging.
If you are in early grief and looking for support, free peer support is available at pinkelephants.org.au - you don't have to walk this alone.
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. From the moment I received it, I was completely blown away. It’s delicate, beautiful, and so thoughtfully made, but beyond that, it carries a depth of meaning that’s hard to put into words. You can truly feel the love and intention behind it. Bodhi has such a rare gift. Not just in her craftsmanship, but in the way she honours these deeply personal moments. If you’re considering one of her pieces, do it. Forever grateful 🤍
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.
