We believe that every life story is a treasure and help you capture your memories in a way that is meaningful, heartfelt, and authentically yours.
About Us
For Keepsake was born from my love for capturing the stories that define us. I’m Carly Burt, the founder and Head Sentimentalist. After losing my grandfather in 2014, I realised the importance of preserving family stories, so no one has to wonder about their ancestors' pasts.
What began with recording my kids' responses to the same 30 questions each year quickly turned into a passion for capturing the subtle nuances of life—expressions, laughter, and all the little details that make memories truly special. Digitising clients’ family videos further showed me the priceless value of these moments.
With warmth and care, I ensure each life story is customized and told exactly as you wish to remember it.

Natasha and Craig P
Working with For Keepsake was an unforgettable experience. I initially thought it would only take an hour to wrap up my life story, but 7+ hours later, I realized just how much I had to share. Reminiscing about people and events I hadn’t thought about in years was a wonderful experience. The process was handled with such care and attention to detail. I'm so glad I did it – having my story captured so beautifully is something I will cherish forever.

My main reason for wanting this experience was my own parents keep telling me they are writing their life story, and they never have, they are now in their 80’s. I feel emotional and sad to think when I have to write a speech one day for their funeral, I won’t have much to tell other than I wish I knew…. At least my children won’t have to worry about anything it will be there at their fingertips anytime. The saying that resonates with me “when you’re not around anymore, you become forgotten. Thanks Carly, you are a true professional and so passionate about your business and it shows. The finished product is amazing, and I am so thankful I found you.
