We just returned home from our vacation in London and Italy and it was seriously a blast. If you followed along on our Instagram stories then you got a lot of behind the scenes photos, but I’ll post some pretty ones here too! My husband, Joe, had to go out of the country to work […]

Kalamazoo Family Photography
