There is nobody else in SF Bay Area with this talent to capture our pets in the way they really are. I happily give Mark Rogers 4 PAWS up for his amazing work. read more

We did a photo sessiom this fall with Mark and it was a wonderful experience. We had planned to just photograph our dog, Tilda, but we had to bring along our boys as well. (Childcare lapse!) Mark was flexible, patient, and above all, an excellent photographer. The photos turned out amazing and we love our canvas. Highly recommend. read more

My wife and I were lucky enough to receive a session with Mark as a gift a few years ago. Our dog was going through some health issues and we had just had a baby so we reached out to Mark to schedule our shoot. Mark was very flexible with his time and sympathetic. We have pictures we'll cherish forever and we're so thankful to have met Mark. What a wonderful experience and the best photos and prints you can ask for! read more

HKB and I first noticed Mark Rogers' work at Pet Food Express on the My Mutt posters. We knew we wanted to work with him when we made our donation to a rescue to participate in the program. Kuro was wide-eyed and crazy for all the treats Mark gave him during the shoot and all tuckered out afterwards. There were some great moments, cool angles, and funny faces Mark caught on camera. My mom's Yorkie, Lychee, does not do well in the car, so Mark drove down to San Jose. It was a warm morning, but we got through the shoot and he captured a few good photographs from an uncooperative subject. He was patient with her somewhat difficult temperament. Mark is a pleasant and cheerful individual, and we're happy we were able to work with him on our My Mutt posters. read more

What better way to spend a sunny Saturday than watching your beloved furry friend strut his stuff for one of the best pet photographers in the Bay area. I signed up for the MyMutt program the Pet Food Express store in Burlingame and was told I'd be working with photographer Mark Rogers. Stocked with cameras/lenses galore, Mark arrived with enthusiasm and preparation. He absolutely knows how to handle animals and I was very impressed by his patience. My kitty, Mikey Valentine, isn't the most outgoing of cats but he isn't necessarily skiddish or "scaredy" either. During the shoot he was most often roaming around the room or rolling on his back at awkward angles in an effort to find an escape from the closed off room. Regardless, Mark captured some beautiful shots of Mikey in the few moments we had him still, bathing, or distracted I highly recommend utilizing his talent to capture the essence of your precious pet(s)! You won't regret it. In fact, I'm so satisfied with the shoot that I plan on purchasing a couple of the shots for keepsakes of my own. read more

Mark Rogers Photography - My pal Mikey Valentine taken by Mark Rogers. - Pet Photography Near Me

"I wish I could give 10 stars! Mark was UNBELIEVABLE to work with and great with animals. He was so patient with our grumpy cat and rambunctious puppy. The photos turned out incredible and we can't wait to use them for our wedding! He's a talented photographer and was awesome to host in our small apartment for a few hours during the photoshoot - he had tons of travel stories and joked with us about wedding planning. Not only would we love for Mark to photograph our pets again, but he's also the type of guy you'd just love to grab a beer with! Bottom line: looking for a pet photographer? Mark is your guy!" read more

Mark is a wonderful photographer and excellent with pets. We were originally supposed to do our session when our dog was a puppy, but he had a series of illnesses that prevented us from finalizing the session - and then we ended up moving. So, when we got back to San Francisco, one of the first things we decided to do was call Mark for a session with our Cavalier King Charles. Mark was easy to communicate with, fast and responsive, and picked a wonderful spot for our photos. Our dog absolutely loved him and it showed - our photos were beautiful. We ended up buying a framed photo for our home and also another photo for our dog walker as a Christmas gift. Highly recommend Mark for pet photography. I want to do another session soon! read more

If you're looking for some beautiful forever-lasting snapshots of your furry companion(s) and a wonderful experience, then look no further than Mark Rogers Photography! My boyfriend and I searched around the SF Bay area this fall for a photographer with specialty in pet photography. We wanted to do a session with our 2-yo and 8-yo dachshund mixes to capture their personalities and some fun moments. Mark's portfolio and resume (works with a variety of pet adoption agencies) looked impressive and we reached out to schedule a session. What followed was an awesome experience! Mark was responsive, friendly, professional right from the get go, and helped us set up a photoshoot after informing us of how the process works. Our session was near the Palace of Fine Arts on a slightly breezy SF afternoon. Mark had a way with our two little ones! He is unintrusive and respectful of each canine's personalities, and spent some time first getting acquainted with them by giving them yummy treats and playing with them. Our older dog Shadow is usually shy and Mark did his best to get her comfortable for the photoshoot. Then, we observed Mark as he did his magic to engage our doggies and snapped away. He took the photoshoot very seriously, and even didn't mind getting down on the grass to get the best shots! A short time after, we were given previews of the shots, and they came out beautifully! Mark then stopped by and showed us several framing options and packages that are available through him. He didn't push for a sale and gave us to make our decision. We were ecstatic to have received the final prints on canvas boards during the holidays this month. We highly recommend Mark Rogers first and foremost since he's a fantastic photographer. That plus his wonderful business model and he's so fun and friendly, and a pleasure to do business with. Goji and Shadow are fans too!! Thanks Mark! read more

Mark shot spectacular photos of our wedding, and skillfully blended in the live-action moments with the staged shots he took before the service. He was not intrusive at all, but he still managed to capture all the key moments. His greatest photographs were the informal pictures of guests chatting, dancing, and enjoying themselves at the reception. Thanks, Mark! read more

Mark did a fantastic job capturing my Corgi's personality. Mark was patient, flexible, and friendly. He didn't have a problem traveling from San Francisco to San Jose on more than one occasion. When he encountered traffic, he promptly called to let me know he was running a little late. Mark delivered the pictures to my house and even hung them up for me. I had a hard time deciding which one to enlarge because all of Mark's pictures look great. I highly recommend Mark Rogers Photography if you are looking for an excellent photographer. I will definitely call him for all my photographic needs. read more

Mark Rogers did a great job taking pictures of my monster when he was a puppy. He was very patient with my pup who at the time was teething. read more

Mark Rogers Photography - Pet Photography Near Me

Mark is a great photographer and extremely patient. He photographed our blind kitty Koko for Pet Food Express to highlight Nine Lives Foundation in Redwood City. Since our cat is blind you can imagine that the clicking noise of the camera was a bit scary. Mark spent time with him, playing and laying on the floor. Koko became so comfortable that he let Mark come extremely close to his face for his close ups! We have three other cats that were also trying to get Mark's attention. He was able to capture Koko's personality in the photos. I would highly recommend Mark for taking photos of your pets, children and events. He is responsive and professional. read more

Mark took pictures of our three cats, who were of advanced age. He did a wonderful job of getting several great shots of each cat, even the one didn't want to get anywhere near Mark. We are so glad we have these pictures, especially now that our cats are no longer with us. Mark is great with animals and was able to capture the essence of each of our cat's personalities. He is also very easy to do business with. read more

Mark is a fantastic photographer. If you want to really capture the finest qualities of your four-legged baby, call Mark. He's patient, professional, and extemely talented. I hired him on a couple occassions at my doggie daycare, K9 Playtime, the best doggie daycare and boarding in San Francisco (that would be called a "plug"). My clients absolutely loved their photo's. His specialty is capturing that little expression, or active moment, that only a patient and skilled professional can capture. I was so impressed with Mark's professionalism and skill, that I hired him for my wedding last summer. He did a spectacular job for us. And he didn't even make us chase and catch a ball! If you're in the market for a photographer, especially a pet photographer, hire Mark! read more

Mark is amazing. After my mom unexpectedly lost her dog, I was determined to get great photos of my Lucy Bear. Mark absolutely delivered. I now have beautiful photos of my dog that I will treasure forever. Not only that, he's easy to work with and clearly loves animals. He's fun, professional and knows how to make pets pose for the perfect photo. I can't recommend him enough! read more

I am constantly in awe of Mark's work. Our dogs Willie and Mickey were photographed by Mark in the last few months, leading to one of our dogs appearing on a birthday card (the picture was phenomenal). Mark's talent doesn't just extend to the animal kind, he was our wedding photographer. Mark is one of those rare photographers that made us feel relaxed and more to the point was not intrusive as he conducted his work. Our pictures before, during, and after will be long cherished, and to state how wonderful the candid photos of our church and the stained glass windows, our families, and friends made (and make) reliving that day all the more cherished. Thank you Mark both personally and now publicly for making this moment in our lives a special chapter!!! read more

Mark's photographs have a beautiful, easy and natural, look to them. He takes candid photographs rather than staged photos. I met him at a business expo and was quite impressed at that time but after the photo shoot I wanted to tell everyone I know about him. He is polite, professional and delightful. Most of all, he was so patient working with my dog. I have a dog so afraid of cameras she really gave Mark one of his greatest challenges. He spent ample time with her, just trying to make her feel comfortable...and me too. I was nervous that he would be frustrated with her because she will hide, run, look away and actively avoid a camera and the person holding the camera - even from far away! Regardless, he was very loving to my very fearful dog. Mark has a great eye and a gentle way with dogs (and people too). I can't tell you how happy I am with the results of the photographs -- they're just beautiful, and everyone who has seen the prints is amazed by the emotions he captured. Mark has an amazing ability to get dogs (and cats) to show their souls through the pictures. I highly recommend you call Mark! You won't regret it! read more

So. I am not much of a poster but I did feel compelled to write something about my experience with Mark Rogers, which was absolutely exceptional. Our dog had passed away last year and we lamented (after the fact) that we never had any really great pictures of him that showed his personality. When we got our two new mini dachshunds I hired Mark from a referral of a colleague whose rescue bunny had been photographed by Mark for a Pet Food Express poster (in Castro - bunny is named Sterling). He came to our home to do a shoot of our two pups and our two kitties who managed to slink in front of Mark's camera as much as possible. We have used several photographers in the past few years for various events and I must say that Mark truly captures his subjects flawlessly. He was laying on the floor in our house and outside trying to get the best angle since our two dogs are so close to the ground with their short legs! The shots he ended up with are fantastic and I covered an entire wall with framed images as well as sent 200 holiday cards through his photo card service. We will definitely be hiring Mark again. The pictures he took of my two little guys are priceless......it is so funny how you can see the facial expressions of your dog in a photo and feel like you know what they were thinking at that moment. For a person who adores her pets, Mark was the perfect choice to capture them in print. read more

It was a pleasure to watch Mark work with my German Shepherd, Gypsy. She can be afraid of strangers, but was quite relaxed during the photo shoot and appeared to enjoy his attention. He was able to capture the essence of her personality and of the breed. Some of Gypsy's photos were classic while some of my favorites were candid shots of her running and just being a dog. The quality of Mark's photography is excellent and his business manner is prompt and professional. The photos he took of Gypsy and me were just great and I ordered a CD to have them all! Great job Mark! read more

Mark Rogers is a fantastic pet photographer. Mark was kind and patient with our little love, Augie doggie. Due to some weather conditions, he was able to give us some additional shoot locations so we would not have to reschedule. Mark has an eye for creative shots. Using his voice and treats, Mark was able to guide Augie as he took some pictures. We were impressed with all of the on-line proofs that he sent over to us. Augie looked adorable! Thank you Mark for this fun opportunity. read more

Mark was AWESOME! We met him through Pet Food Express and he came to photograph our two very uncooperative dogs -- a beagle & a golden retriever. Somehow, he was able to capture the best pictures I have of my boys! There were some really funny ones in there too! I treasure them! read more

I signed Seamus up for the Pet Food Express MyMutt programme. I was told that Mark Rogers would be contacting me. I was excited as I'd seen the photos he'd taken of PFE's dogs. Mark arrived ready to do his magic. His patience is phenomenal, and Mark obviously enjoys animals and bringing out their best qualities, which in Seamus' case can be difficult. :) I'm kidding Seamus honestly! Mark got down on the floor with Seamus, let him sit in his lap, and basically was wonderful with our 2 year old Aussie Cattle dog mix. I highly recommend Mark for all your photographic memories. read more

I was fortunate enough to learn about Mark Rogers and his fantastic work by winning a gift certificate for his service from an event by PAWS. I feel so lucky that I have met him! He did a photo shoot of my two dogs for the holiday card for my business and he did an excellent job! He was amazingly patient with my crazy dogs and with me. He got incredible shots and took his time. the quality of his work, as well as the quality of his demeanor was incredible. I also learned that he dedicates a lot of his work toward non-profit animal rescues. He is truly awesome. My clients LOVED the card and I can not wait to work with Mark again!! read more

This review is way over due! Mark is an amazing pet photographer! He has truly found his calling. Mark photographed my puppy Bella in August of 2015. First of all Mark did a wonderful job of making my vision of the photoshoot come to life. I told him I wanted to do a "gritty urban" photoshoot with my sweet maltipoo. I also wanted the backdrop to be very San Franciscan. Mark suggested a couple of great places in the Mission District. This was the easy part. Bella did not want to cooperate. Mark did everything to get the right shot. I think we were at the first location for a couple of hours and Mark was going beyond the call of duty to get the right shot. I mean he was laying down in the middle of Balmy alley shooting my stubborn dog. The second location was a park. By then my dog was tired and over it. I decided to run with her to wake her up and Mark just started shooting her as we ran through the park. This is where the magic happened!! Mark captured the essence of my dog and I will cherish the photographs forever! read more

I'd give Mark 10 paws if I could. He did a magical job of capturing the spirit and personality of my THREE dogs. Yes three,all in one session. I loved all the photos, had calendars made, thank you cards, I couldn't stop ordering I'm sure to be known as the crazy dog lady after this year. The pictures just make me smile and glow inside. It's so important to have photos of our best friends. I'm sure we'll book another session again. read more

Mark Rogers Photography - Pet Photography Near Me

First of all let me say that Mark is amazing with animals. My oldest cat is terminally ill and I wanted some good shots of him while he still looked gorgeous. Normally, Sebastian (my cat) doesn't like strangers. He, in particular, doesn't like male strangers. He took to Mark right off the bat, all my pets did. They were all extremely interested in his camera equipment, what he was doing crawling around the floor with them, and he just had that vibe. A cat whisperer if you would. So I was thrilled that Sebastian not only didn't go hide in the closet but wanted to be near Mark. One of the best things Mark did was to just let Sebastian go do his own thing then Mark would follow and take a picture. Pretty soon it was obvious that Sebastian was showing off for Mark which was pretty hilarious. Mark got beautiful shots that totally captured Sebastian and his personality. Not only that but if I had booked him for and if he had had the time my other cats would have gladly done their best catwalk poses for him. As it was they were getting a bit jealous of the time Mark was spending photographing Sebastian. I'm not ready to lose Sebastian and I never will be but Mark gave me the peace of mind of knowing I'd always have photographs of Bash that captured him and his essence. Having that is priceless. read more

Mark is an amazing photographer!! Overall, I am extremely pleased with my decision to use Mark to photograph my pup Mason, a Bernese Mtn Dog. After a very long search to select the perfect photographer to capture the many faces of my dog, I was lucky enough to come across Mark's portfolio. After speaking with Mark on the phone, I knew I had made the right decision. Mark made the drive from SF to SJ and spent a few hours with Mason inside and outside of my home. Unfortunately, Mason was really sick on the shoot day, but you would never have known it by looking at the photos taken that day. The shots were precious and really captured my dog's personality. He was even gracious enough to take some pictures of my 2 month old daughter. The process from start to finish was so enjoyable, I would do it all over again (and I absolutely will in the coming years). His beautiful photos adorn my walls. I have received so many compliments on his work and I am so grateful that I made this investment. read more

I wanted photos to capture the fun, warm, and the most natural moments of my dogs. Photos that I can look back and cherish every single moment I've spent with my them - that is exactly what I got. In my search for a pet photographer, I came across Mark's website and fell in love with his work. After few emails, we decided to take the photos at Stern Grove. The photo shoot was a bit of a struggle for Mark since my three dogs are super shy, all named in Japanese, and worst of all, I forgot to bring their TREATS! Mark was on the ground, using high pitch tones, and trying everything you can imagine to get my dogs going. Despite all the complications, Mark was able to capture some amazing photos of my dogs. The photos turned out a-m-a-z-i-n-g!! I wanted to every single copy! After contemplating for a long period of time, we decided to purchase most of the shots and ended up with 2 canvases of my favorite shots. I've never met anyone who loves animals as much I do, but Mark might beat me to it. He is involved with all kinds of animal shelter and adoption events. I would definitely recommend him if you want GREAT photos of your love ones. read more

Mark took photos of my lovely dog Oliver and I couldn't be happier! We did two separate shoots (at Alamo Square Park & the Palace of Fine Arts) and I couldn't be happier with the results. My only problem is that there were so many good shots that I ended up purchasing so many different types of prints to hang around my house and office that now I look like "The crazy dog lady." Mark is great with animals and goes above and beyond (physically!) to get that great shot! Very satisfied! read more

A few years ago, my partner and I hired Mark to photograph our beloved Boston Terrier, Butch. The photos turned out fabulously and truly captured Butch's very unique and vibrant personality. Yesterday, we "released" Butch, who at the age of 13 had had a wonderfully long life. Sadly, he had cancer and had begun having bad seizures. Now, I am more grateful than ever for the investment we made to capture our little furry friend at the prime of his life. At this time of intense sadness, we treasure these portraits of Butch the Wonder Dog more than ever. Thanks for a priceless gift, Mark! read more

My 200th review!! Ive been thinking long and hard about who to yelp for my 200th review, and Mark definitely deserves it! I haven't hired Mark yet.. I have however seen his great work, and Ive also spoken to him a couple of times about a photo session for my Bella Valentine. He spent time going over different pricing packages, and even packages that were especially designed for clients on a "budget." I originally wanted too book Mark for my dogs 3rd birthday. She is after all the apple of my eye. I have pictures of her everywhere! Mark's work would of been a great addition to our home decor. After discussing the price with my husband, he surprised me with a new camera.. Which basically means I shouldn't hire Mark, at least for the time being. My husband is not as.. dramatic? as I am when it comes to Bella. He doesn't even believe in celebrating Bella's birthday with balloons and doggy cake! What kind of Mom would I be?!! Anyways, Mark followed up with me about a week after our conversation and even gave me pointers about my new camera and taking great pictures.. Which really says alot about his character. I will def hire Mark at a later time.. In the meantime if your are looking for a genuinely nice, talented photographer look no further! Hopefully I can work this camera so I can make the most of the "gift" my husband gave me. Until next time Yelpers!! read more

I first got to know Mark via our donation to the ACC/Pet Food Express My Mutt posters. And it was the first time I saw how difficult the pet photographers have it! They are totally working on the pets's clock and attitude... definitely not an easy task compared to photographing humans. It makes me respect these photographers even more. Mark worked great with our pup Nahla. He was open to ideas and knew exactly what would be good lighting, time of day and worked very well with Nahla's vibes. He is very responsive via email and got the samples/prints to us via email within his expected time he told us. When we got the photos samples, he even gave us suggestions which ones may look good for the My Mutt poster and also was able to capture her emotions quite well. We liked the samples so much we even ordered a few prints of our own! It was a great pleasure working with him and would highly recommend him to anyone else for their pets' Glamour Shots session. read more

Absolutely sensational photographer!!! He was great to work with and he did such a wonderful job with the pictures of my dog that she is now the covergirl for my business promotional materials. Not only is he a good photographer, but he also gives back to the community. read more

Mark came over to take photos as part of the MyMutt charitable giving program sponsored by Pet Food Express. The thing that impressed me most about Mark was that he took his time to get just the right shot of our two cats, Peanut and Coconut. He spent over an hour, crawling on our floor to get just the right shots of our cats. We are pleased with the overall results and would recommend him to anyone looking for a good pet photographer. You might see our pictures over at the store in Daly City soon. Thanks, Mark! read more

Mark is one creative photographer, I mean he gets down - literally - to get the best shot; taking in light, background, composition, and of course, your precious canine subject. It's really fun to watch him, especially if you know anything about photography. I couldn't be happier with the outcome and seeing my dog' My Mutts posters on the wall of our local Pet Food Express store made our family very proud. This beats studio photography as he captures your dog out in the world in a special place. Thumbs Up! read more

Mark photographed our lab, Dodger last year for our 1st wedding anniversary. He and his assistant were great! Mark was so patient with us and Dodger. Wonderul locations and weather we couldnt have asked for a better experience. When we got our photos, I was very impressed, making it difficult to pick which we wanted framed. Mark came all the way to San Jose to meet us and help walk us through the many options. I thought it was so nice of him to meet clients in their own home. Once we picked the images to be framed, Mark worked promptly to send us a mock-up of what the photos would look like. Within 2 weeks we had our order which Mark delivered himself along with a baby gift for a newest member. Mark is a true artist and professional. I cant wait to work with him again. From his personal touch, passion for life and animals to his marketing, I feel like we gained a friend and couldn't be happier with our art. Sorry this review is late, but much deserved! Thanks, Mark! Amy and Mark read more

Mark is truly amazing as evidenced by all the 5 star reviews on Yelp...Mark and I worked together on my #dogaday #dogsofdegournary project for the San Francisco Decorator's Showcase. Besides photographing my own pet (Gypsy (a shmorkie) with her friend Arabella (King Charles Spaniel)) I enlisted Mark to photograph 30 other dogs in rather confined quarters. Mark has a unique talent in a very niche aspect of the photography business. He truly is able to capture dogs when they are most animated, creating beautiful photos that will be forever treasured. Besides the fact that all the dog owners adored him, all the dogs loved him as well! It is such a pleasure to work with someone who loves what they do as much as Mark does. So lucky to have been able to collaborate with Mark and looking forward to working with him in the future and referring him to all my pet-owner friends. read more

Mark completely captured the spirit of both pets. Max, my four-year-old English Springer, has boundless energy and an amazing number of facial expressions. Mark created a tri-panel series of photos of Max that are priceless - from his 'huh, what?' expression to his 'I so couldn't be happier' grin. The photos he took of Samantha, my cat, are absolutely beautiful - she's pretty shy so it wasn't an easy job. Mark is great to work with - he builds an easy rapport with pets and their people and brings a lot of integrity to his work. He's gifted. read more
