I put my thinking cap on for you. I know tomorrow is your ONLY day to take photos for them due to a crazy, busy schedule. First, I'm praying it doesn't rain and you can get some good outdoor photos. However I found a few locations that you can think about
:
The DIA
Fittingly, the city's "temple of art" is itself a stunning architectural work of beauty. There are a number of photo-op locations here, including the building's alabaster-white Beaux-Arts facade, Rivera Court (home to artist Diego Rivera's famed "Detroit Industry" murals) and the grand Great Hall, where the vaulted ceilings are alive with trompe l'oeil frescos and the floors are inlaid with tiles made by Detroit's historic Pewabic ceramics studio.
A parking structure (seriously)
A parking structure might not sound romantic, but the right one can offer intriguing skyline views of the city and even cool geometric architectural features that'll make your photos pop.

The Packard Plant (dangerous place, use the buddy system, but its an awesome location):

The abandoned Michigan Central Station. Recently a 50 Cent rap video was filmed in there. You apparently can permit to get inside, just be weary of the wild dogs that allegedly patrol the property. Yikes:

The Michigan Theater in downtown. A former ornate theater turned parking garage. For the $8 parking fee per car and if you’re very polite, you can go shoot up there on the top level with the cool ceiling without a permit (that’s what I did) :

Saint Agnes Church (I literally could have walked in the front door in the middle of the day to the abandoned church, but I suggest filing a permit and keeping security with you) :

Maybe if the rain lets up (This would be a FUN place to photograph!)
The Heidelberg Project, which is a neighborhood of creatively... redesigned homes. It's website describes itself as "an open-air art environment in the heart of an urban community on Detroit’s East Side" :

Maybe these places will inspire you and give you awesome senior photos for your niece! Good luck tomorrow. Who knows, maybe you'll wake up and the weather forecast will be wrong, or it will let up when you have to take the photos!
