Creating Timeless Memories at Rochester Municipal Park

The Neiman’s were the largest Family Lifestyle Session of 2022! You might recognize their last name as they own Neiman Family Market in Clarkston, a small local grocery chain with a few locations in the greater Michigan area. If you are looking a local family grocer I would definitely check their stores out!

With children ranging from 8 months to 19 years you might think they have their hands a bit full, but everyone is clearly full of love, laughter and adoration. The Neiman’s are avid Catholics that love to spend time with each other by playing sports and games; you can tell there is a friendly competitive spirit in every member. It did not take long for their personalities to come out of the shell. Confidence, beauty and happiness were the key emotions that dominated their family portraits.

As we first introduced ourselves, you can imagine it was a bit of a challenge to gather everyone to a singular location and manage so many strong personalities. Ryan and Josh (the two youngest boys) were a couple of bees flying around always making the family laugh; they might be the troublemakers of the bunch, but they never let a moment dull! We started with a few individual portraits by the creek as we awaited Emily and Josephine (the youngest - 8 months). Everyone was so polite and easily directed into poses and smiles! Once Emily and Josephine arrived we started with a few sibling poses together and then separated in to only boys and only girls.

Once we finished our time by the creek we made our way to the iconic bridge connecting Paint Creek Trail to Rochester Municipal Park. Here we captured the entire family for a few iconic photographs showing off the entirety of the Neiman Family. Quickly after this portion every child was asking for photos with mom; clearly she is a favorite in town! Once everyone that wanted a photo with mom was done they transitioned over to Dad. As this was going on, Ryan was constantly trying to photobomb everyone on the bridge; he is quite the bundle of energy always running around!
