Professional Spokane Portrait Photographer Mike Franklin
Everyone deserves to feel confident in front of the camera. As a professional photographer with nearly 20 years of experience capturing real moments and authentic expressions. My journey began in weddings, where I learned how to handle lighting, composition, and high-pressure moments—all while telling meaningful stories through my lens.
Over time, I fell in love with studio photography, exploring advanced lighting techniques and commercial portrait work. I’ve become really skilled at understanding what makes each person look their best, guiding every client so they feel confident and natural in front of the camera.
In 2015, I built my dream studio, a comfortable, high-end photography studio designed for headshots, branding sessions, and commercial photography. I focus on creating a relaxed, guided experience that helps every client look and feel their best.
My Photography Style and Approach
My top priority is making sure you feel comfortable, confident, and actually enjoy being in front of the camera. With over 20 years of experience, I’ve learned that great photos come from a great experience—so I bring clear direction, a relaxed vibe, and just the right amount of fun to every session.
You won’t have to worry about what to do or how to pose—I’ll guide you the whole way, helping you look natural and feel like yourself. Whether it’s your first headshot or your fiftieth, I’m here to make the process easy, enjoyable, and even a little fun. And the result? Images you’re proud to share.
