About Me


Hello, Woof & Meow

Hi there.  I’m Mark Rogers — a San Francisco Bay Area pet photographer with a knack for capturing the personalities of dogs, cats and other companion animals. I’m known for my work with pet parents who want special, eye-catching memories of their beloved fur babies and I’ve been at this since 2006. It’s the best job I’ve ever had and I consider myself blessed for finding it!

My photography is often described as eye-catching, energetic, colorful and humorous and I’ve been honored as one of the Bay Area’s top pet photographers many times over the years. I’ve also written and photographed three books—many featuring local S.F. Bay Area animals — and my work often appears in other print publications and in national ads for pet-related companies.

When I’m not working with animals for a living you can find me hanging at home with my own pack: my wife Anne, our dog LeeLoo — a chihuahua-dachshund mix — and our cat, the mischievous and diabolical Jimmy Chew. If I’m not there I’m usually volunteering with one of the many animal rescue and pet-related non-profits around the Bay Area.

If you like my style and approach and are interested in creating some lasting memories and amazing artwork of your pet let’s talk!

My Signature Style

Vibrant & Colorful

I love my images to pop and tend to shoot subjects against high contrast backgrounds when on location or the studio. I’m a stickler when it comes to get the colors right and have been known to obsess over it…a little..

Memorable Moments

It’s those moments between moments that seem to really define an animal’s personality or the relationship between a pet and their person. I specialize in capturing those brief instants and making them epic.

Full of Personality

Our pets each have a multitude of expressions,, movements and quirks that make them unique and precious to us. My job and my joy is to make those into photographic art you’ll always have and always love.



Volunteering

Giving Back

I got my start in pet photography when I began taking photographs of available dogs and cat at the city shelter when I was a volunteer dog handler. Giving back Since then I’m passionate about animal welfare and volunteer my time for many rescue groups in the San Francisco Bay Area.

We drove over 2 hours to meet Mark and have pictures done of our Jack Russell Terrier. IT WAS WORTH IT! Mark was much calmer than I was and got dozens of shots from a model who was more interested in sniffing around. Mark doesn’t forget you after the shoot is done. He has kept in touch like a friend

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.

Mark Rogers took some damn good photos of my two little wiggle-butt doggies. It can be so hard to capture BOTH of them looking perfect at the exact same time. But, this guy was devoted and diligent. His photography is stunning and artistic. PLUS, he donates his time and expertise to local animal rescue groups,
