What Makes Precious Memories Unique

With so many options out there, it’s important to choose someone who understands just how special and fleeting these moments are.

As a mum myself to two daughters — and a proud cockapoo owner — I know just how quickly time passes. That’s why I pour so much love, care, and patience into every casting I create. Each one is handcrafted as if it were for my own family.

With over two decades of experience, award-winning craftsmanship, and a calm, baby-friendly studio in Poole, I offer something no mobile or part-time setup can: a truly personal experience, from one parent to another.

This isn’t just a service. It’s a heartfelt promise to help you capture and cherish your little one’s earliest days — forever.


Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a casting session take?
Most sessions take about 30–45 minutes, depending on your baby’s comfort and cooperation. I work patiently to ensure a calm and safe experience.

Is it safe for newborns?
Absolutely. I use only hospital-grade, baby-safe materials, and every session takes place in a clean, controlled studio environment designed for newborns.

What materials do you use?
I use professional-grade alginate and plaster, ensuring the highest detail and safety standards. Each keepsake is then carefully finished and sealed.

Can I choose the frame and colour?
Yes! You can select from five frame styles and seven beautiful colours to perfectly suit your home or nursery.

Locally Based, Studio-Based & Trusted in Dorset

I work from my private studio in Poole, welcoming families across:

  • Bournemouth

  • Christchurch

  • Dorchester

  • Wareham, Wimborne, Verwood, and surrounding areas

In fact, many families travel over three and a half hours just to have their baby castings done here — a testament to the quality and care I provide that you simply won’t find elsewhere.

Life is full—I offer flexible rescheduling because I understand babies (and life) don’t run on a strict schedule. Just let me know what works for you.

“There are other companies who are cheaper, but you get what you pay for. The detail and care in these castings is unmatched — worth every penny!”
— Claire, Bournemouth

About Me

I’m a local mum of two wonderful daughters and the proud owner of Pickle, a playful cockapoo who often keeps me company in the studio. Before starting Precious Memories, I was a primary school teacher, so I understand how to be patient, gentle, and reassuring with little ones — skills that make the casting process smooth and comfortable for babies and toddlers alike.

My husband and I have been together since 1991 and married since 2001, raising our family here in Dorset. Being part of this community means a lot to me, and I love supporting local families by helping you create keepsakes that will be treasured for generations.
