3D Hand & Foot Casts Dorset

Beautiful 3D Castings in Dorset — Personal, Bespoke Keepsakes

Looking for beautiful 3D baby hand and foot castings in Dorset? At Precious Memories, I lovingly create timeless keepsakes that capture every tiny detail of your baby’s hands, feet, or your pet’s paw. Handmade in my cosy Dorset studio, each piece is designed to last a lifetime. Choose from a range of frames and colours, with a personalised engraved plaque to make it uniquely yours.

 


Why I Love What I Do

Creating keepsakes isn’t just a job for me — it’s a true passion. Over the past 20 years, I’ve been honoured to help families capture the most precious moments of their lives. There’s something magical about preserving the softness of a newborn’s hand or the delicate paw print of a beloved pet. Each piece tells a unique story, and I’m proud to be trusted with those memories.

What drives me is knowing these keepsakes become treasured family heirlooms, passed down through generations. I work slowly and carefully, offering a bespoke experience because every family deserves personal care — not rushed appointments or mass-produced products. Moreover, seeing families return, sometimes years later with a new sibling or pet, fills me with joy and reminds me why I love this work so much.  Read on to learn about all the products I offer.

I’ve also had many enquiries from former Mini Memories clients in Christchurch, who no longer offer 3D or 2D raised baby tiles. My frames and finishes closely match theirs, so if you’re one of these families, please get in touch—I’d love to help.

FAQ – Common Questions About 3D Castings Dorset

How long does it take to create my 3D casting?

The process usually takes around 6 weeks from the day of your appointment to create your 3D casting. I take the time to ensure every detail is perfect, making each piece a truly special keepsake.

When is the best time to create my baby’s hand and foot casts?

I can create casts from the day your baby is born, and I recommend booking a session within the first few months to capture the tiniest details. However, I can create casts for babies of any age. The earlier, the better to capture those small, delicate features that will become treasured memories.

What if my baby moves during the session?

It’s completely normal for babies to move during a casting session! While we can’t keep your baby still, I have over 20 years of experience and plenty of tips to help reduce movement. I work with you to ensure the process is as smooth and comfortable as possible, creating a calm and relaxed environment for both you and your baby. Rest assured, we can work with the natural movement and still create a perfect keepsake.

Is it safe to create a 3D casting for my baby?

Yes, absolutely! I use high-quality, baby-safe alginate to create the casts. Alginate is a soft, safe material that captures the finest details and is commonly used in medical and dental applications. It’s gentle on your baby’s skin, ensuring a comfortable experience while providing a durable and detailed cast.

How long does my baby stay in the alginate?

The time spent in the alginate is very brief—typically around 1 minute. The material sets quickly and comfortably, allowing me to capture every detail without your baby being in any discomfort. Your baby will only be in the alginate for a short period, and the experience will be as gentle as possible.

Will I be satisfied with the final result?

I am committed to providing you with the best possible result. Don’t just take my word for it—take a look at over 100 5-star reviews on TripAdvisor to see how happy other families are with their keepsakes. My attention to detail ensures that each casting is crafted with care, capturing the essence of your precious memories. You can trust that your casting will be a beautiful reminder of those early moments.

Advanced 3d cast of adult and baby

3D Cast of Adult and Baby

There’s something truly magical about capturing your baby’s tiny hand or foot alongside your own in a 3D lifecast. It’s such a beautiful way to hold on to those precious early moments — a keepsake that shows the special bond between you and your little one.


The Ups and Downs of Adult & Baby Castings

Why you’ll love it:

  • It’s all about that emotional connection — seeing your hand next to your baby’s really shows how close you are.

  • The size difference is striking, making a gorgeous, lifelike piece you’ll want to treasure and show off.

  • You can choose how to display it — as a free-standing sculpture or something more personal, like a family tree design.

Things to keep in mind:

  • Lifecasting requires everyone to be still for a short time, which can be tricky with babies, so a little patience is key.

  • Some designs, especially family trees, can be delicate and might need extra care or a tougher finish like bronze.

  • It’s an art to get the adult and baby casts balanced and natural-looking — and that’s where experience really matters.


How Would You Like Your Keepsake?

You have options:

  • A free-standing sculpture that looks lovely on a shelf or mantelpiece.

  • Or the family tree design — a real game changer. If you have a newborn and a toddler aged 2 to 5 who missed out on casting earlier, this lets you include them all in one stunning piece. It’s a perfect way to bring your whole family together in one keepsake, no matter their ages.

I absolutely love helping families capture the pinnacle of their sporting achievements with beautifully detailed 3D casts of hands and feet. These keepsakes are a wonderful way to remember those unforgettable moments of triumph, teamwork, and sheer hard work.

From cricket balls to ballet shoes, each cast is carefully made to showcase every tiny detail — the unique marks and textures that tell the story of your loved one’s passion and dedication. It’s not just a piece of memorabilia; it’s a celebration of achievement, a physical reminder of the joy and pride those sporting moments bring.

With over 20 years of experience in casting, I take great care to ensure every piece I create is a work of art. I use only the best materials and give close attention to every detail, so your keepsake is not only stunning but built to last for generations.

Whether it’s marking a personal best, a team championship, or a special milestone in your family’s sports journey, my 3D casts offer a truly personal way to celebrate those moments. Let’s turn those fleeting victories into lasting symbols of inspiration and achievement you’ll treasure forever.
