Testimonials: What families say

Real Ballard Bear families.

Sarah
I didn't even know what Theodore's name meant until this arrived. Now it's the first thing people read when they walk into his room. The detail is incredible — right down to the moon phase the night he was born. This isn't a nursery print, it's a keepsake we'll have forever.

My husband's family has been driving trucks for three generations, so when I saw the road train option I actually got emotional ordering it. It just felt like him. The personalised birth print quality is so much better than I expected for the price, and the matching bear print made it feel complete

Claire
We wanted something that actually meant something, not just another generic baby gift. Finding out Leo's name means 'lion-hearted and brave' made me tear up a little. The birthstone and birth details are exactly right, and it's already framed in his nursery.

AS SEEN IN & PARTNERING WITH

A newborn baby lies on a textured cream blanket between two framed personalized prints. The baby wears a cream knit romper, a dark red knit hat with a pom-pom, and dark red booties. Personalised road train themed birth print with birth details.

THEY WILL ONLY BE THIS LITTLE ONCE

Our birth records capture the exact moment your child arrived — the date, the time, the moon that was out, the meaning behind the name you gave them. A reminder of how small they once were, and the story that began the moment they did.

A woman holds a baby in a bright indoor setting, with two framed art prints hanging on the wall behind them. The left print features a road train, personalised birth details and the text 'TÄNE MAXWELL' with a quote, and the right print shows a teddy bear illustration.

The perfect gift for parents

A birth print is the perfect gift for christenings, naming ceremonies, and birthdays. With its unique and timeless design, it becomes a beautiful and memorable gift that parents will love.

Capture it. Cherish it. Celebrate it — for generations to come.

Not Just their name, the story behind it.

Every name on every print is personally researched — where it comes from, what it's meant across generations. Most families have never had this written down before. Now it's the first thing they'll read on the wall.

From the Artist.

"This is the most precious piece of art you will ever own. I research every name myself — where it comes from, what it's meant across generations. I have designed each collection to preserve your babies first special moments, exactly the way I would like my own children's precious first moments preserved."
