Hello, I'm Sara
The person behind every casting — and the hands that will carefully create yours.
Why I Started life casting…
It began with my own children. Like so many parents, I found myself watching their tiny hands and feet change almost overnight, wishing I could hold onto those fleeting details just a little longer.
When I discovered 3D casting, I knew immediately it was something I wanted to share with other families. There is something truly magical about holding a perfect, permanent impression of the people you love most.
I am fully self-taught and set up Belle Tomas so that families across Ashford, Kent and the surrounding areas could have a keepsake that lasts a lifetime — created gently, in the comfort of their own home. If you were wondering where the name Belle Tomas originated from, they are my children's names.
My Values & Approach
Every family is different, and every casting is treated with the same care and attention to detail. These are the principles I bring to every visit.
Warmth & Patience
I work at your pace — especially with little ones. There is no rush, and no pressure. We take our time until everyone is comfortable and relaxed.
Safe & Gentle Materials
All casting materials are completely safe for skin contact, including newborns and sensitive skin. Your family's wellbeing is always my first priority.
In Your Own Home
I come to you. Visiting in your own space means babies and children are settled, and the whole experience feels natural and unhurried.
Sensitivity & Discretion
For families going through loss, I approach every memorial casting with the utmost gentleness, privacy, and respect. You are in safe hands.
What to Expect from a Home Visit
We chat first
I'll get in touch before your visit to answer any questions and make sure you know exactly what to expect. Nothing is rushed.
The casting itself
The casting process is quick, gentle, and completely safe. Most sessions take around 30–60 minutes depending on the service.
You choose your finish
Together we'll choose your paint colour and frame style. I'll take care of everything from there.
Your finished keepsake
Your finished, framed casting will be ready within 4–8 weeks, beautifully presented and ready for you to collect or arrange.
Training & Qualifications
I am fully self taught in professional 3D life casting techniques, with experience in most types of life casting, including in newborn and infant casting, memorial casting, and pet casting.
I hold full public liability insurance and all materials used are dermatologically tested and safe for all ages, including premature babies.
Kind Words
