Favorite Livonia Photo Locations
You don’t have to leave town to get incredible portraits. Some of the most popular spots I shoot in include:
- Greenmead Historical Park – charming barns, fences, and vintage buildings
- Rotary Park – tree-lined trails, a wooden boardwalk, and peaceful creek areas
- Hines Park – winding paths, natural textures, and great color in every season
- Maybury State Park – technically just outside Livonia, but perfect for outdoor sessions
Livonia is also perfectly placed between Detroit and Ann Arbor, so we can easily explore more urban or modern locations if you want a totally different vibe.
We Give Back to Stevenson High School
As a Livonia senior pictures photographer, I regularly work with graduating seniors from Livonia Stevenson High School, Churchill High School and Franklin High School for their senior portraits at some amazing outdoor locations throughout Metro Detroit.
With so many talented photographers in the area, it can be hard to narrow down the list and find the right one. But, there's really no need to keep randomly searching Livonia photographers for senior pictures near you. Paul is a Livonia Stevenson High School graduate and is dedicated to giving back to the Stevenson High School Booster Club with each senior pictures session booked and gift certificate purchased!
