Mark Rogers Photography

Mark photographed our lab, Dodger last year for our 1^st 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!

Mark Rogers did a great job taking a pictures of my monster when he was a puppy. He was very patient with my pup which at the time was teething and kept nipping at him.

I was lucky enough to receive a session with Mark for my dog Seamus. It was an amazing experience, the pictures truly capture Seamus’s personality! Everything about the experience is so customer service orientated you feel like You’re his only client! No rushing real time to make sure he gets the best shots, the time to select the perfect prints, helping to figure out where to hang them and he will hang them too!!! I can’t say enough about Mark. It’s a wonderful experience and in the end you have amazing pictures of that very important 4 legged family member!

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.

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.

Mark did a great job photographing our Goldendoodle who’s poster is now gracing Pet Food Express. It was a fun photo session for all, especially Corky who was the star and knew it. Most of the photos were so adorable making it difficult to select just one for the poster. I would love to see what Mark would do in different settings as he is so creative. Mark was fun and easy to work with. He is very professional and fun. .. a great combination for a photo shoot.

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.

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.

Mark was such a pleasure to work with! I started working with Mark in September of last year when he photographed my four dogs (all rescues). They are medium-​large and can be a bit of an excitable pack, but he handled each of them so well and captured their individual personalities perfectly. My 16-​year old boy, Blue, sadly passed away in November. I look at the photos that Mark took of him all the time. We ended up doing a memory box for Blue and aluminum metal prints for each dog. The quality is fantastic and it so nice to see the pieces in my living room everyday. The pictures of Blue especially make me happy. Thanks, Mark, for your wonderful work! The session and products are an investment that keeps giving back. Definitely worth every penny.

Mark did a great job on a photo session, a rush set of Christmas Card, and a set of portraits of our family and pooch. He has a knack of getting some really great shots of us, something that I completely and totally fail at. He was upfront about pricing — it seemed a bit expensive, but I don’t have experience with others photographers — nonetheless I feel like I got great value and results for the money. Mark is super friendly, is great with dogs, and is overall perfect to work with. I’m so glad there are independent artists like this still in SF.

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!

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!

Mark is just amazing! He replied his emails promptly. He listened to what I wanted for the photo session for my super high energy poodle. He wasn’t there to push a sale. He was there to make all of us happy and to deliver a super fun photo session.
The photo shoot was super fun. My husband, my poodle and I enjoyed it. After the photo shoot, Mark came for a follow-​up session when we all sat down to look at the proofs together and he went over different packages and possibilities with us. The photos came out to be BEAUTIFUL! They are exactly what I wanted.
It’s a wonderful experience for humans and dogs. I’m sure my poodle would agree because Mark has the most delicious treats that can make any pup willingly work with him.

I worked with Mark to schedule a photo session with my fiancé and our 11 year old lab Kobe for his birthday this May. Mark was great– we designed a package and a gift certificate, and planned the session on my fiancé’s actual birthday as a surprise. Our lab is getting older; a fact that has been really hard for my partner. So I wanted to make sure their incredible 11 yr bond was captured. Mark knew just how to work with our aging pup. We met outside the deYoung and Mark a ton of pics. The results were incredible! We had such a hard time choosing only a few prints. We just received our copies today and they are beyond what we hoped for! Thank you Mark for not only your spectacular photography skills, but your ability to understand and capture the special bond between a human and their pet.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.
