I’m Mike Franklin. Over 20 years, I’ve worked with some of Spokane’s best advertising agencies, top CEOs, and small business owners across the city — solo practitioners to full teams. I show up with photography that actually works: headshots, team sessions, branding, studio or on location. Whatever the job calls for.
Most photographers don’t think this way. I do. Every image has a job — and figuring out what your image needs to do, before we ever shoot, is what you’re hiring me for.
A headshot needs to make someone trust you before you’ve said a word. A team page needs to make a company feel like one team, not a lineup of strangers. Branding photography needs to earn its place on every page of your website. That’s the bar I’m working to clear on every shoot.
Law firms, healthcare practices, financial advisors, advertising agencies, startups, nonprofits — if you need professional photography that represents your business well, we’ll get along just fine. I’ve worked with solo professionals updating a single headshot and companies that needed a full team done in a day. The size of the job doesn’t matter as much as getting it right.
Most people walk into a shoot a little nervous — and that’s completely normal. A big part of my job is making sure you walk out actually liking the results. I genuinely enjoy working with people, and I think it shows. The goal isn’t just a good photo. It’s that you feel good about it too.
The studio is private. When you walk in, it’s just us. No waiting room, no other shoots, no one rushing you along. The setup handles everything from individual headshots to full team sessions to branding work for company websites.
When it makes more sense to come to you — a larger team, a specific location, an office environment — I bring the full studio setup on-site. Same quality, wherever the work needs to happen.
There’s a real difference between a photographer who does a little of everything and one who has spent 20 years focused on exactly this kind of work. I’m not shooting weddings on weekends and squeezing in headshots on Tuesdays. This is what I do — all of it, all the time.
These images are going to represent your business on every platform you use for the next few years. That’s worth getting right.
