Seeing your baby for the first time during an ultrasound is a magical moment, but what happens after the session? Don’t let those precious images sit in a drawer or folder on your phone! Your ultrasound photos are more than just pictures - they’re the first glimpse of your little one and a keepsake to treasure forever. Here are some creative ways to showcase and celebrate your ultrasound images after your session.
Keepsake Art for Your Home
Turn your ultrasound image into a timeless piece of art to display in your home.
Canvas Prints: Enlarge the image and turn it into a canvas print for your nursery or living room. A great website to order canvas prints from is Shutterfly. Check them out! I use them often for prints. They always have promos available too. Just click on the links to see current promotions.
Watercolor Creations: Work with an artist to transform your ultrasound into a custom watercolor painting.
Shadow Boxes: Frame the ultrasound along with small keepsakes like baby socks or hospital bracelets.
Pro Tip: Add a date or sweet caption like “Love at First Sight” for a personal touch.
Nursery Décor That Tells a Story
Incorporate your ultrasound photos into your baby’s nursery theme.
Create a gallery wall featuring ultrasound images alongside maternity photos and baby quotes.
Display the image in a personalized frame that matches your nursery colors.
Use an ultrasound image as part of a baby name sign or wall mural.
Personalized Gifts for Family and Friends
Your ultrasound photo makes the perfect starting point for heartfelt gifts.
Keychains or Jewelry: Turn the image into a locket, bracelet, or keychain for grandparents.
Ornaments: Create a custom Christmas ornament to celebrate your baby’s first holiday season.
Magnets or Coasters: Make keepsake items that are practical and sentimental.
Again, a great site for this is Shutterfly!
Memory Books & Pregnancy Journals
Document your pregnancy journey in a scrapbook or journal and make your ultrasound images the centerpiece.
Write down details about the session, such as baby’s movements or funny moments.
Include captions, quotes, or even letters to your baby about your hopes and dreams for them.
Add other keepsakes, like belly photos or heartbeat recordings, to complete the story.
Baby Announcements and Cards
Share your exciting news in style by incorporating your ultrasound into:
Pregnancy Announcements: Send custom cards featuring the ultrasound image to family and friends.
Thank-You Notes: Include mini prints in thank-you cards for baby shower guests.
Holiday Cards: Celebrate milestones by adding your baby’s photo to festive cards.
DIY Crafts for Parents-to-Be
Get creative with hands-on projects that make the ultrasound part of your home decor.
Photo Blocks: Transfer the image on wooden blocks to make a unique display. Watch this YouTube video for a DIY how-to transfer photos to wood.
Fabric Prints: Transfer the ultrasound image onto fabric to create pillows or blankets.
Decorative Lamps: Design a light-up photo box or lamp that highlights your baby’s first picture.
