chiswick, london's hidden gem by the river thames

on a very hot summer day, chiswick riverside, around kew bridge (i believe they call it the strand) towards east, one can feel like they are in southern france.. the whole ambiance of the neighborhood is not only so pretty but also so peaceful to wander. great architectural elements meets with english lifestyle and good old history and river thames’ wild nature. i love this city even more with all these little wonders that pops out from every corner of it! if you wanna experience some local london experience, i urge you to stroll by the riverside of this neighborhood and move on to kew gardens later.

hope you enjoy the visual stroll that i hand picked for you!

Mini Winter Play Date Family Photography at Holland Park

when two best friends have kids around the same time, the best thing to have is to hangout all together especially to enjoy and make the most out of sunny london winter day. such a beautiful gift idea to book a session for capturing both their friendship after 20 years and to have the sweet memory of their babies recent birthdays. it was a fun day for me too! hope you’ll all enjoy it as much as we all did!

covent garden in spring..when london blooms

in a sunny day, one should not ever miss the opportunity to wander on the streets of london. covent garden in the spring is one must visit location even for the locals. not only all tourist attractions are beautiful but also all hidden gems of london will be all blossomed and ready to be in your memories to last forever.

this was my covent garden moment on a sunny, yet cold, april day. chelsea flower show by the corner, covent garden is already celebrating spring at its best. all stores, restaurants are covered with flowers, the market place is prettier than ever, street performers at their bests; you can easily spend hours at this beautiful land mark of london.

make sure to wander in every corner of it and grab a coffee or tea at least and enjoy the sun while watching the street performers or classical musicians. my favorite stores are kikki.k design and whittard of chelsea!
