On this page, you’ll find a simple step-by-step guide to ordering your custom floral keepsake — from choosing your frame and taking your baby’s prints, to how I create your artwork and send it to you.
You’ll also find helpful answers to frequently asked questions at the bottom of the page, covering topics like shipping, framing options, gift vouchers, and how to care for your keepsake.
Browse my gallery to choose your preferred frame and label colour – I keep it updated with my latest creations.
Order your keepsake online, or simply get in touch with me if you’re unsure which option is right for you — I’m happy to help.
To capture your baby’s prints, you can use paint, an inkless kit, or simply scan their hand and foot. Please make sure the prints are on an A4 sheet. Once taken, photograph the prints with your phone, making sure all four corners of the paper are visible—this helps me create life-size keepsakes. Then, send the photo to me via email.
I handcraft your life-size keepsake using real pressed flowers, carefully selected for colour and detail. You’re welcome to share your favourite blooms, and I’ll do my best to include them. After everything is cleaned and framed, I package it safely and send it off to you.
FAQ
All your questions answered here. And if you still have questions, send me a note!
How do you get the right size for the baby prints?
To ensure the prints are life-size, I work from a clear photo or scan of your baby’s hand and footprints placed on an A4 sheet of paper. As long as all four corners of the page are visible, I can accurately recreate them at their true size—preserving every tiny detail in your floral keepsake.
How long will it take?
Please allow 2 weeks for your artwork to be finished.
Do you offer shipping?
Yes! I ship New Zealand-wide and can courier your finished artwork for a flat rate of $10. If you’re in Nelson, you’re also very welcome to pick up your keepsake in person.
I also offer international shipping — costs vary depending on the destination country. Please contact me for an accurate quote. Any customs fees or taxes upon arrival are the responsibility of the recipient and are unfortunately out of my control.
Do you offer gift voucher?
Yes! You can purchase a gift voucher here. It’s a thoughtful gift for baby showers, new mums, birthdays, or Mother’s Day. After purchase, I’ll email you a personalised voucher to print or forward. It includes framing and shipping, so the recipient won’t have to do a thing.
Do you offer discounts?
Yes, I do offer a package discount! If you order 3 or more frames, you’ll receive a 10% discount. Feel free to get in touch for more details!
How do I take care of my keepsake frame?
To keep your floral keepsake looking its best, find a shady spot away from direct sunlight and damp areas, as these can cause fading or damage. Gently dust the glass with a soft, dry cloth when needed. Handle the frame with care, and enjoy your unique piece for years to come!
Do the flowers keep their colour?
The color of the flowers will naturally evolve over time, with some changing more than others, adding to the poetic charm of the piece. To ensure the best preservation, keep it out of direct sunlight and away from humidity. For even greater protection, I offer a UV glass option for the larger wooden frames.
Can the frame be hung on the wall?
The frame is designed to stand on its own, but it also has a small lip at the back, so it can easily be hung on the wall if you prefer. Just choose the option that works best for your space!
Do You Offer Bigger Frames?
For bigger projects like wedding bouquet preservation or floral artwork, I offer high-quality wooden frames for hanging, handcrafted by a local framer. If you have something special in mind, feel free to send me a message—I’d love to hear your ideas!
Do you create anything besides baby keepsakes?
Yes! I also create custom floral frames using meaningful blooms—like wedding bouquet preservation, memorial pieces, floral paw prints, and kiwiana keepsakes. In addition, I’ve produced fine art prints of my pressed flower artwork, which are available to purchase. If you have a special idea or flowers you’d like to preserve, just reach out—I’d love to bring it to life.
I’m absolutely blown away by the beautiful keepsake Anna prepared for my daughter! Her talent, care, and dedication shine through in every aspect. Anna, you have a true gift for creating meaningful and beautiful keepsakes. This piece will always hold a special place in my heart. Thank you for your thoughtfulness and expertise!
What an incredible creation! Anna is clearly very talented but also patient. You can tell the love that is poured into each piece - even down to the wrapping and special note! I have received many compliments since adding the handprints to our home. Would be a lovely gift for grandparents. Thank you so much!
We received the most beautiful keepsake of our baby’s hand and foot print. I can’t recommend Anna enough, she is meticulous with her flower choices and made the process so simple. The attention to detail is incredible, and the finished piece brought tears to my eyes. It's now standing in our home as a daily reminder of just how little our baby once was.
Such a unique special gift. So grateful to have my little loves handprints in such a unique and thoughtful way. Anna is so pleasant to deal with and went above & beyond for me. I’ve already had loads of people complementing her work! Thank you very much!
