Question 4

Do I have to book an appointment?

Accepted Answer

Yes please!

Whether you're attending an event or an appointment elsewhere we ask you to book in advance.

We believe your casting experience should be as relaxed as possible, we ensure we have enough time to talk through the process and any ideas or questions you may have. We are parents and understand that little ones can be become unsettled or demand feeding at the most awkward times!

Although we will always try to accommodate walk ins, we don't operate a queuing system and would never want you to feel rushed or like you are on a conveyor belt of castings.

Question 6

How Long Does an Appointment Take?

Accepted Answer

Appointments are set based on the casting style required. We usually allow approximately 1 hour for appointments, however taking the casts only takes a couple of minutes each.

Question 7

Does A Child Have To Stay Still While The Casts Are Being Taken?

Accepted Answer

Slight movement is usually not a problem. The moulding material sets quickly - typically within 1 to 2 minutes - and is flexible enough to accommodate gentle shifts.

For older toddlers who might be more active, we use distractions like toys or games to help keep them still long enough to get a perfect mould.

Many young babies often sleep through the process, or feeding can help settle them.

A £20 deposit is required to secure an appointment. This is deducted from the order total.

At your appointment 50% of the order total is payable by cash, card or bank transfer.

The balance is then due on completion.

Question 9

How Long Before The Casting Is Complete?

Accepted Answer

The casting process takes approximately 4-6weeks, we will keep in touch the entire time and inform you of a completion date during the process.

Question 10

Do I Need To Provide Printed Photos For My Casting?

Accepted Answer

We usually ask clients to send a digital copy of their chosen photograph—often taken during a baby photoshoot or captured personally. This allows us to print the image to the correct size to perfectly fit the aperture in the mount board.

However, if you already have a printed photograph you'd like to use, I'm also happy to work with that—just let me know your preference.

Question 11

Are There Any Costs On Top Of Our Advertised Prices?

Accepted Answer

All of our prices include framing. All of our frame, mount and cast colours are included in our prices. You can design your frame in your chosen colour scheme.

The optional add-ons (plaques, vinyl etc) are listed on the relevant casting style page and start from £5.

For non-framed castings - i.e. plinths and baubles, prices include the finish and personalisation.

Question 13

What Should I Wear For A Casting?

Accepted Answer

We would recommend that babies and children wear loose fitting clothing that is easy to roll up.

For babies, baby grows are great as they can be undone and the hand / foot easily accessible.

For older children and adults, please wear clothes you don't mid getting messy. The casting material sets to a flexible solid but is in liquid form before setting so it is possible an excitable child can get it on their (and yours!) clothes.
