The Kaufman’s celebrated the 90th birthday of their family patriarch with an intimate family dinner held at The Leopard, a distinguished restaurant within the historic Hotel Des Artistes residential building on the Upper West Side. I recently had the privilege of capturing these heartfelt moments shared by the family in the private dining room known as "the parlor” during our one-hour pre-dinner cocktail/party session.

It was an honor to be part of such a significant milestone in their lives and to preserve these precious memories for generations to come.

Here are some of my favorite images from this shoot (click/tap to view full size and un-cropped):
