Although it's easiest to create a casting prior to 9 months or after 2.5 years, I can create a casting of babies at any age.

Not a problem at all! I can include castings of all your children in a single shadow box if you desire!

Yes! The alginate I use sets very quickly and allows their fingers to move while it sets!

Absolutely! The alginate I use is the highest quality available! It is the same material that dentists put in your mouths to take impressions of your teeth! The alginate I use is prosthetic grade, biodegradabe and derived from seaweed. It is safe for even the newest skin as it doesn't adhere to the skin or cause irritation.

You bet! I love to include other keepsakes along with Castings and can even create a personalized collage box to match your nursery! I also custom mat all of my matted boxes by hand so we can accomodate photos as well.

No way! our pricing is completely transparents so there are no hidden fees! We are happy to include any of our nine finishes in our base pricing.

The material I use to create impressions (dental grade alginate) captures every detail and produces a liflike and three dimensional cast unlike clay impressions.

Because I use prosthetic grade alginate that is safe for baby's delicate skin, impressions can be done as soon as you feel able to travel for your appointment. The youngest baby I have created a casting for was just two days old! Because newborns are less alert and wiggly than older babies, It is easiest to create castings prior to four weeks old.

Yes, absolutely! in fact I need baby to be comfrotable in order to get a viable impression. Right from positioning baby in your arms, having a warm, soothing environment, using only gentle pressure I submerge babies hand or foot in warm alginate the consistency of pancake batter for approximately two minutes. During this time, parents are welcome to pat, rock sway or bounce as I follow along. Often I will sing or chat to older babies to help with distraction.

No, most of the impressions I get are when baby is awake. I have alot of different tricks up my sleeve for distracting and soothing little ones to that we are able to get a perfect impression.

Baby is the boss of our appointment, whatever you need to do for your baby, you can do that whenever you need. Whether that is nursing in privacy, nursing while I take an impression (works super well for keeping baby calm and distracted if you are comfortable) bottle-feeding, changing a diaper, we work around the needs of you and your child.

Absolutely, I have several processes depending on the size of the ring that enable me to capture every detail of even your special jewelry.

At the appointment we will discuss and rehearse different options for compostition prior to taking the impression with alginate.
