Santa Clara Pet Photography: Playful Moments, Lasting Portraits
From the open fields of Central Park to the historic charm of Santa Clara University I capture your pet’s personality in each candid moment
Meet Mark Rogers
In my opinion, there’s something about Santa Clara dog and pet photography that’s just plain special. It has it all: wide, green grassy areas of Central Park, manicured grounds at Santa Clara University and quiet neighborhood paths. The Santa Clara area offers nearly endless opportunities to capture pets at their best against beautiful backgrounds.
I’m Mark Rogers, a Bay Area pet photographer who loves following pets on adventures and offering treats when needed (and often when they’re not). I also like traveling thoughout the region for my sessions and the South Bay is one of my favorite places to shoot!
Sessions are relaxed, playful, and entirely focused on your pet’s personality. Whether they’re zooming across the grass, posing like a miniature model, or simply giving you that “look,” we’ll capture the moments that make them truly themselves. By the end, you’ll have portraits you’ll love—and a pet convinced they’re ready for the spotlight.
Ready to make it happen? Let’s get started. All you need to do is schedule a time to have a quick conversation with me to plan and book your Santa Clara pet photography shoot!

Karen – Santa Clara, CA
I’d been searching for a photographer for a long time, but I had put it off because my girl is a bit of a wack-a-doo and more than a handful. Mark was extraordinarily patient with us, and persistent, allowing us to find the perfect settings to photograph her. I am so grateful to Mark for the wonderful results. We now have beautiful art on our walls showing all of her personality. Couldn’t recommend more
Pep – Santa Clara CA
Mark came over to take some pictures of my rabbit, Etta, who has a lot of energy and personality. I was worried but it turned out to be great. It’s as if Mark knows how to communicate with animals. My rabbit felt so comfortable and totally being her usual-self. And… the pictures turned AMAZING. I was blown away by the beauty and details he captured in each shot. .
