Parma, Italy Travel Photography

There are few places that have really stayed with me long years after my first visit. Italy is one of those places for me. Since my teenage years, when I first set foot in this beautiful country, I have been in love with its Northern countryside, the people, the fo[...]

Scotland Travel Photography

I am still on cloud nine from my adventures in Scotland. You can read more about that in Exploring Scotland. Here are some photos, starting with the Scottish Ceilidh, where I danced and danced and danced. Ah, pure joy. It was a wonderful way to end the trip and[...]

Food Adventure in Parma, Italy

“Food is so important for us. Culturally, it represents family, celebration.” I was talking about food with a native Italian woman, Carmela, who sat down next to me on my plane ride to Milan, Italy.  She spoke only in Italian, having committed herself to the[...]

Bucket list coffee shop: @mercurycoffeeco 🤎 Fr Bucket list coffee shop: @mercurycoffeeco 🤎

From a mobile coffee cart that started in March of 2024 to a brick and mortar that opened in the cool Rochester neighborhood of South Wedge in June 2025, this sweet little shop is serving up cool vibes and delicious coffee. 

Was it my third cup of coffee of the morning? Yes. Was it worth it? A million percent. 

Go give them some love. 🫶🏾☕️

Two things easily sooth my soul: coffee and books. Two things easily sooth my soul: coffee and books. And this afternoon was for books. Enter this cool bookstore find in Pittsford, NY: @bookculturepittsford. New for me, but this gem has been a part of the Pittsford community since December of 2021, with another location in NYC on 112th and Broadway. (Founded as Labyrinth Books in 1997).

It looks small on the outside, but it’s a massive space taking up two shops, and a garage in the back dedicated to kids’ books and gifts.

Honestly, they have such a diverse collection I am surprised I only walked away with three books. Could have easily done more damage. 

Pittsford itself is a pretty area outside of the city of Rochester and a short drive from the same, with tons to do including enjoying a bike ride on the trail along the Erie Canal (or take a cruise!), shopping in cute stores, and dining in quaint locally owned eateries. A very sweet experience. 

Add this shop to your book lover’s must see.

I am on a photography assignment this week in Roch I am on a photography assignment this week in Rochester and what I love about this whole area is that no matter how often I am here, for work or leisure, I am always left impressed and in love. Here’s little gem from today (so far). Come on a stroll with me along Devils Bathtub in Mendon Pond Park.

Today is the day we drop off our youngest, @liamca Today is the day we drop off our youngest, @liamcain._, at college. While it is an exciting period of change for all of us, it feels surreal. There was a time this moment felt so, so far away….and yet, now, it feels like it came so quickly. And  while I am thrilled for him, and for us, I am also sad. So much to process. 

Wishing my “baby” boy all the luck. ❤️
