Hi, my name is Anjelika. I live in the suburbs of Chicago with my husband, Dan, and our two children — our daughter Melissa and our son Maxim.

When Melissa was born, I received a baby memory book as a gift. While I loved the idea of preserving her earliest memories, I found that the book had so many unnecessary pages and not enough of the ones I truly wanted to fill. That experience sparked an idea: what if I created a baby book that was both beautifully designed and thoughtfully crafted for real parents and their little ones?

With that vision in mind, I reached out to the incredibly talented artist @daria_lesoleil, who hand-painted every illustration in the book. Her artistry brought the pages to life in the most magical way.

I spent countless late nights designing each detail of the book — making sure it flowed from pregnancy through to your child’s fifth birthday, capturing the milestones and the in-between moments that matter most. After months of dedication, revisions, and production, the Beautiful Baby Book for Lasting Memories finally came to life.

This book is more than just a keepsake — it’s a way to celebrate your child’s story from the very beginning. I poured my heart into every page, and I hope it brings you as much joy filling it out as it brought me creating it.

Thank you for being here and for supporting this labor of love.

Warmly,

A.S.
