Newborn & Family
Photographers in
Bay City, Michigan

Hey there!

We’re Lisa and Julie, Bay City, Michigan photographers, comprising Luce Photography. We’re your stereotypical twins who look the same, sound the same, and often finish each other’s sentences. And we wouldn’t want it any other way!

We’ve been best friends our entire lives, and business partners for what seems like most of it. Anyone remember paper routes? Ah… the good old days, am I right?

We’ve always enjoyed working together, and we’re so thankful for this business that lets us celebrate the love of family every single day.

We find so much happiness in photographing the realness between people, whether we’re photographing you with your fresh new baby, or out in nature playing and laughing with your family. What we truly want is to create an experience for you that is fun, carefree, and authentically you.

We have a beautiful studio located on Kosciuszko Avenue in Bay City, Michigan, where we photograph our newborn, milestone, and cake smash sessions. And we photograph most of our family, maternity, and senior sessions outdoors in Bay City and surrounding areas.

Thanks for stopping by!

LISA + JULIE

Newborns

We want to help you remember all of the tiny details, the squishy baby rolls, each tiny finger and toe, the pouty lips, and the big cheeks.

Babies change so much so quickly. Milestone sessions help document those fleeting moments, from learning to sit up unassisted, to standing and walking all on their own.

Milestones

Families

Our goal is always to get you moving and laughing together so that we can capture your candid moments as you simply enjoy each other’s company.

When you look back on your senior photos years from now, we want you to think two things: “Dang, I look good!” and more importantly, “That really looks like the me that I remember.”

Your baby only turns one once! Let them have their cake and smash it too.

This time in your life only lasts a short period of time (although some days it might not feel like it). We want to make you feel completely comfortable while we capture your gorgeous pregnancy glow and adorable baby bump in whatever way makes you feel most beautiful.

It's a whole family affair! Spend some quality time with the people you love most, and remember what’s uniquely wonderful about being part of the same family.

We're proud recipients of:

“To find a photographer that can make you walk away from your photo session with sore cheeks from smiling and laughing so much is one to keep. Julie and Lisa make their photo sessions effortless on the clients part. They are available beforehand to talk through wardrobe as well as just getting you hyped up for your session. We had a maternity session scheduled and I was so worried my toddler was going to lose it. They both have the most calming and energetic personality. We had no issues and our toddler had a BLAST. They will continue to be our family photographers for many years to come!!”

“We can’t say enough good things about our time with Julie and Lisa! First of all photographing a 3 month old baby and an excited husky dog isn’t easy but they were amazing the entire time- they were SO flexible and accommodating with all of us! Not only did our pictures turn out beautiful(so beautiful that I had to buy the entire gallery because all 50 photos were our favorites and I couldn’t choose) but we had so much fun and truly enjoyed our session! I would absolutely recommend Luce Photography to anyone!!!! We can’t wait to do a session again in the future with them!”

“To say these two are amazing is an understatement. Julie and Lisa went above and beyond my expectations during the shoot and also with the final photos. Of course I had to go with the entire album because I loved them all and want to cherish every moment they captured. The photos gave me goosebumps and brought me to tears. Their work is incredible. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Julie and Lisa.”

“I highly recommend Luce photography! Julie and Lisa are professional, sweet and always know how to make my family and I feel comfortable while taking our pictures! They think of everything you may need to help get those special smiles! We come from an hour away just to use them for all of our family pictures!”

“We have adored working with Julie and Lisa! They have made this process enjoyable, are so easy to communicate with, and go above and beyond in helping us pick outfits and accommodating photos I'd like to see. It's so fun to watch them work effortlessly together, and they are so committed to getting the biggest smiles and perfect shots out of my baby. And although his first year is going far too fast, having the next milestone shoot to look forward to makes it a little easier to swallow, one because they're so fun and two because I'll have perfect photos to look back on and remember for years to come.”
