After reviewing samples and once you are decided on which medium you would like, casts of your baby’s hands or feet (or both) are taken using a casting liquid. The liquid is perfectly safe for babies and children, and captures every intricate and unique detail of their hands and feet. The whole casting process only takes a few minutes. Babyprints have taken solid 3D casts of babies from just days old and there is no age limit, grandparents are very keen to have their hands casts with their precious grandchild. Now you have made your baby's foot mould, the next step is to fill it with plaster. You should do this right away after making your mould, as the alginate mould will start to break down after about 20 minutes or so - the alginate becomes unstable and more watery. By putting in the plaster straight away, the alginate mould will retain those fine lines and wrinkles that have been captured.

I started lifecasting in 2003 when I had my daughter, and began to build my first business ‘Impressive Babies’. I left my music teaching career to run my business full time in 2013 and ‘Impressive Memories’ has grown and flourished, as has my daughter, since. The magic is in the finishing, Babyprints are expertly trained and finish all products to the highest standards. I am a highly trained 3D casting specialist, having honed my skills under the exceptionally experienced and watchful eyes of Donna Richardson, head trainer of the Babyprints franchise network.
