I never get tired of seeing Ackermann fashion plates. Love these.
Oooh lovely!! Happy mother’s Day Vic! For me this is a special one since it’s my first :)
I love the gorgeous fashion plates. The models in the last one both look tired and irritated to me. Reminds me of a family photo. ;-)
Love these!
Just when I was feeling all jealous of my american sisters having their mother’s day today (UK one is long gone) there you go and cheer me right up. Lovely!
Vic, thank you so much for these magnificent images!… Sooo adorable, everyone of them!!!…
Now, here’s something timeless:
I love these fashions! And with the children is just exquisite. The 1st to me the woman looks quite voluptuous. The second the bottom half reminds me of a wedding cake. Not that I’m complaining. I think they are amazing. In the 3rd I can just feel the kid trying to get away. The bottom or 4th I like the veil on the woman’s hat. The next I can’t help but notice the parasol and the last they do look tired. Aw, the challenge of parenting.
