NYC rooftop bliss ✨ Birthday moments & sun-kissed joy. Forever grateful for these sweet memories & the love that surrounds us 🤍 #goldenhour #nyc #birthdaylove
The photograph captures a sun-drenched rooftop terrace in New York City (NYC), likely overlooking Central Park. The scene is bathed in the warm glow of late afternoon sunlight – a golden hour effect that casts long shadows and highlights textures beautifully. At the heart of the image stands Raquel, a woman in her early thirties, radiating joy and confidence. She’s wearing a vibrant Zimmermann silk dress with an intricate floral pattern, complemented by Versace sunglasses perched on her hair. Her makeup is flawlessly executed, showcasing a classic Revlon red lip – a nod to timeless elegance. Ward Hair styling has created loose, effortless waves that frame her face. The terrace itself is adorned with handmade ceramics from Raqzim Ceramics, including textured vases and planters filled with lush greenery. Suzanne Koller’s artistic influence is subtly felt in the composition – a sense of balance and intentionality. Scattered around are remnants of a recent birthday celebration: scattered confetti, a partially eaten cake (frosted with delicate flowers), and a single, flickering candle. A laptop rests open on a nearby table displaying the words 'repost' – perhaps documenting this joyous moment for social media. The feeling is intimate and personal; an 'imwithher' sentiment conveyed through her relaxed posture and genuine smile. The background subtly hints at other celebrations happening - glimpses of balloons, and joyful laughter. The word 'love' is written in delicate script on a ceramic tile. A faint overlay of the word “null” is visible as if representing something fleeting or lost. There’s an undercurrent of melancholy mixed with pure happiness – a bittersweet feeling of celebrating life's precious moments amidst uncertainty ('udufef', 'uddudc', 'udcudf','uddudda', 'ududcb', 'uddudda'). A small, framed photograph labeled “fbf” (flashback Friday) sits on a side table, further adding to the nostalgic feel. The overall mood is celebratory, loving, and quietly sophisticated.
