Meet Mike Franklin — Your Spokane Senior Photographer
Hi, I'm Mike
Before long, your kid's out the door — and these are some of the last photos of who they are right now.
For two decades, I've run one of Spokane's longest-standing studios and photographed hundreds of local seniors. What I've learned: the magic isn't the camera — it's getting your teen to relax and let their real self show up.
That's my specialty. I'll make them laugh, take the pressure off, and catch the expressions that actually look like them.
Let's capture them, just as they are right now.

My Style & Approach
Clean, natural, and timeless. No funky colors, no heavy filters, no trends that'll look dated in a couple years — just honest images that still feel right when your kid is thirty.
The trick is pairing that clean look with real expression. I keep your teen relaxed and laughing, then capture them as they actually are — so the photos look like them, not a filter.
It's a combination parents love: genuine, timeless portraits you'll be glad you have for decades.
