North London Photography

Hi, I’m Lynn Hammarstrom-Craggs — a North London portrait photographer with a particular love for maternity photography. Based in Golders Green and working from my studio and garden in East Finchley, I specialise in creating calm, beautiful images that celebrate pregnancy and the anticipation of a growing family. My approach is personal and relaxed. I photograph expecting mothers with a focus on natural light, comfortable posing and simple, timeless styling so the images feel both authentic and elegant. Whether you want a classic black & white portrait, a soft, contemporary colour image, or a combination of studio and outdoor shots in my garden, I work with you to create photographs that tell your story and reflect how you feel in this special moment. Clients choose me because I care about people and the stories behind every portrait. I bring years of experience in portrait and family photography to each maternity shoot, so I understand how to capture connection — not just a pretty picture. My sessions are unhurried and designed to put you at ease: I guide poses gently, use flattering lighting, and welcome partners or older children if you’d like family images to mark this time. The studio is equipped with professional lighting, backdrops and a relaxed space for changing and settling, while the garden provides a natural, serene setting for outdoor maternity photos. After your session I include retouching to ensure your final images are polished while still looking natural. You can preview your images in a private online gallery, making it easy to share favourites with loved ones. I also offer gift vouchers — a thoughtful present for expectant parents — and can tailor a session to suit your preferences. My aim is simple: to produce maternity portraits that you’ll treasure for years to come, photographed in a warm, friendly environment where you can feel comfortable and confident. If you’d like to discuss a maternity photoshoot in Golders Green or East Finchley, I’d love to hear from you. Contact the studio to plan a session that celebrates this incredible chapter of your life.
