Elle made us feel very at ease and did an expert job in getting Maddie to sit still enough to create the most beautiful casts!

Elle was absolutely amazing. She was so patient with us. We had a lot of hiccups along the way, she was always supportive. The communication was also excellent. Her work, was impeccable. My daughters casts were perfect. Even better than what we wanted/expected. I will always recommend Elle for my friends & if in the future, we will have another little one, then we will always come back to Elle x

Elle was super friendly and made a mum of a newborn very at ease when I went to sort my baby’s lovely foot casts. We had them done at 3 weeks old and now at 9 weeks old I can already compare to have tiny he was!

Perfect experience
Everything about this experience with Elle was perfection from start to finish. Great communication, lovely calm and quiet environment, quick turnaround and the finished casts are just beautiful. Elle even brought them out to my car in the rain when little one was having a meltdown! Can’t recommend enough - something to be treasured forever.

Sibling casts
Elle created an absolutely beautiful memory of my babies. Not only did she create such amazing casts of my kids she was also just so lovely to meet. She interacted so well with my son and made sure we were as comfortable as can be bringing our newborn. We couldn't be happier with our casts.

It was absolutely fantastic
It was absolutely fantastic. Elle was great, so warm and welcoming. The kids had the most amazing time and we have managed to take a snapshot of time, where I have managed to freeze just how little they were, put it in a frame and keep it forever. My new favourite belonging!

Thank you SO much Jagroop for choosing us to make your two beautiful sibling frames with us. It was such a brilliant, fun session. I loved it, a total pleasure!
Had to come back again!
We had to go back to Elle for another set of beautiful castings! We had our little girls done two years ago and knew when we had our little man we needed his done to.
Elle is so welcoming and professional and we couldn’t be happier with the end result! Thank you again xxx

We came back to Halycon casts with our second baby, I wouldn’t have gone anywhere else!
I couldn’t recommend Elle enough, she is so warm and friendly which makes the whole process calm and enjoyable to watch!
Elle follows the babies lead and will happily do the casts while baby is feeding or having a cuddle!
Thank you Elle! Will treasure our casts forever!

You are SO welcome Anna. Thank you for choosing us to make your keepsake for you and for sharing your experience.
Elle was a dream from start to finish.
Elle was a dream from start to finish.
I booked in a sibling casting session with her, and as per usual, myself and my three kids were running a little bit late. This was not a problem for Elle, she welcomed us all with open arms, age- appropriate toys, tea, and even... cake! We all had such a wonderful experience doing the casting, and now sitting on my shelf I have this beautiful, framed memory of my children's little hands. A memory I will have forever.
Thank you Elle, for making the session so lovely, and thank you for making something so beautiful that I will cherish forever.
Highly recommended
