A young child in a floral swimsuit stands on a reclining adult's raised knees on a porch, both are under a string of colorful lantern lights. The child appears to be blowing bubbles while the adult, wearing a pink tank top and shorts, looks on with a relaxed expression. There's a hanging flower basket and lush greenery in the background. The image has a caption at the bottom indicating the names "Roger and Emma" and is signed by the photographer with a date.
