Children don’t stay little for long.
One day their hands fit inside yours. The next, they’re running ahead of you. That’s exactly why Lasting Littles was created — to help parents preserve tiny handprints and footprints in a way that is beautiful, frame-worthy, and effortless.
Our keepsake art books are designed for babies and toddlers ages 0–5 and feature thick, easy-to-tear premium cardstock pages so you can create meaningful artwork without crafting stress.
Today, we’re proud to introduce our three core keepsake books:
-
Lasting Littles Volume 1: Forever This Small
-
Lasting Littles Volume 2: Impressions of Love
-
Lasting Littles: Dad Edition
And we’re just getting started — Mom, Grandma, and Grandpa editions are coming soon.

A Mom-Owned Keepsake Brand Built From Real Motherhood
Lasting Littles was created after watching my own boys grow faster than I ever imagined.
As a professional designer and illustrator, I wanted something:
-
More beautiful than generic printables
-
Higher quality than thin craft books
-
Easier than DIY Pinterest projects
-
Meaningful enough to frame
Every design is hand-illustrated and created with the understanding that these tiny hands and feet will not stay tiny for long.
Over 1,000 families now have Lasting Littles in their homes — and we are just getting started.
Preserve Their Littleness Before It’s Gone
If you’ve been meaning to capture their handprints but keep putting it off — this is your sign.
Because one day, you’ll look at those tiny prints and remember exactly how small they once were.
