North London Photography

I’m Lynn Hammarstrom-Craggs, an award-winning family and portrait photographer based in North London, specialising in family photography from newborns and babies to children and milestone occasions. I position myself as a family specialist — my work focuses on capturing the genuine relationships, little details and ephemeral expressions that make each family unique. My approach is relaxed and people-centred. Whether we’re in my East Finchley studio or using the garden for a softer outdoor backdrop, I create an atmosphere that helps everyone feel at ease — especially children and new parents. I combine gentle direction with an eye for candid moments so you get both natural, storytelling images and beautifully composed portraits. I aim for a timeless look with options in colour and classic black & white to suit your home and your memories. Working with me is simple and collaborative. Before your session we’ll discuss the look and feel you want — contemporary, formal or a mix — and I’ll advise on what works best for groups, newborns and children. During the shoot I guide posing in a warm, friendly way and encourage play and interaction to capture authentic smiles and expressions. My studio comfortably accommodates family groups and I’m happy to photograph baptisms, communions, birthdays and other family milestones with the same attentive approach. You’ll receive high-resolution images with professional retouching included, and I can present previews in a private online gallery so you can share the highlights with relatives. I care about delivering portraits you’ll cherish on your walls and online — images that feel personal, composed and true to your family’s story. If you’re looking for a family specialist in Golders Green/East Finchley who understands children, newborns and family dynamics, I’d love to hear about your ideas. My priority is to make your session enjoyable and to create portraits that capture the warmth and character of your family for years to come.
