Professional Portrait Photographer, Mike Franklin
I love helping everyday people feel comfortable in front of the camera so we can capture natural, flattering photos you’ll truly love.
With a background in commercial photography, my style is vibrant, polished, and full of color. I’m passionate about blending light and color in a way that makes your images feel both natural and timeless.
After 20 years behind the camera, I know how to guide you through each session so it’s easy, fun, and stress-free. The result? Photos that show you at your very best — confident, relaxed, and genuinely yourself.
Whether it’s headshots, family portraits, or senior photos, my goal is simple: no stiff poses, no forced smiles, just beautiful images of you feeling at ease and looking amazing.

📷 Franklin Photography Studio – Frequently Asked Questions
-
Over the past 20 years, I’ve photographed everything from weddings to newborns. Along the way, I discovered my true passion lies in capturing senior portraits, family photos, and working with businesses and professionals on marketing-focused imagery, including headshots and corporate video services.
-
Our photography studio is located in North Spokane just below Whitworth College, just 15 min north of downtown Spokane. We have a fully equipped space designed for comfort and high-quality results.
-
The best time of day to photograph photos here in Spokane is the last two hours of the day. The sun is low in the sky and is very flattering on the skin.
-
This really depends on the time of the year. June, July August and September are our highest demand season with Senior photos, I recommend scheduling at least a mouth before to ensure you get a spot. The rest of the year you can usually schedule your photo session within a week or two.
-
Yes, I would argue our photography studio has some of the best retouching in all of Spokane. We keep it light and natural. While presenting the best version of you!
-
I typically blend studio lighting with natural light to create images that are colorful and have beautiful skin tones. I don’t use trendy filters, just great technique and proper lighting to create images that will stand the test of time.
-
We recommend wearing solid colors that flatter your skin tone and avoiding busy patterns. Bring a few outfit options so we can help you choose the look that works best. Our Spokane studio also provides live previews so you can see how your clothing photographs before the session is over.
-
For family photos, choose clothing that feels comfortable and reflects your family’s personality. Solid colors and subtle patterns work best, while avoiding overly busy prints or large logos that can distract from the faces. Coordinating colors instead of matching outfits helps create a natural, cohesive look. Layering with jackets, scarves, or accessories can add depth and texture to your images. At Franklin Photography Studio, we also offer guidance during the session to make sure everyone looks their best, and we can suggest combinations that photograph well in both our studio and outdoor locations around Spokane and Spokane Valley.
-
Pricing for a session varies depending on the length and type of shoot, as well as the final products you choose. Typically, the initial sitting fee—around $175—covers the photographer’s time and expertise. After your session, you’ll review your images and select a package that includes digital files, prints, or a combination of both.
