Walnut Creek Pet Photography: Open Spaces, Genuine Moments
Expert pet portraits on Walnut Creek’s bountiful trails, tree-lined hills and many parks—where nature gives each session a golden glow.
Meet Mark Rogers
There’s just something about Walnut Creek dog and pet photography that hits the sweet spot between relaxed and scenic. With many open spaces, oak-dotted trails and sunny parks I sometimes think Walnut Creek was made for photographing animals outdoors. It’s one of my favorite East Bay spots to work.
I’m Mark Rogers, a Bay Area pet photographer with a knack for capturing the real stuff be it your dog mid-zoomie or your cat striking a dramatic pose (yep, they definitely planned it!) Location-wise we might shoot in the wide-open spaces of Shell Ridge or catch the golden hour in Civic Park. There’s also downtown if your pup loves attention or we can always head to your home for something quieter.
My sessions are simple, fun, and zero pressure—for your pets and for you. I follow their lead and tailor the session accordingly to fit your animal’s pace: wild, mellow or a mix of both. I’ll make sure we get photos that feel true to who they are.
Let’s make something you’ll love to look at for years. Reach out, and we’ll start planning your Walnut Creek dog and pet photography session.
The Reviews Speak for Themselves

Nancy – Walnut Creek, CA
I must admit I was skeptical since I had taken pictures of my sweet Emma and they all came out with her frowning! But Mark was able to loosen her up, run her around and figured out how to eliminate the crinkled brow. The photos were great.
Amba – Walnut Creek CA
Mark is an amazing pet photographer! He has truly found his calling. Mark did everything to get the right shot–I mean he was laying down in the middle of an alley shooting my stubborn dog. Mark captured the essence of my dog and I will cherish the photographs forever!
Andrea – Oakland, CA
It was a pleasure to watch Mark work with my German Shepherd. 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
My Favorite Locations for Pet Photoshoots in Walnut Creek
Walnut Creek has a great mix of natural beauty and open space, which makes it a dream for pet photography. Whether your pup loves wide-open fields, hillside trails, or a good garden sniff, these four spots offer plenty of variety—and great light—for capturing their personality.
Shell Ridge Open Space
Looking for quintessential NorCal views? Shell Ridge has ’em. It’s a perfect for energetic dogs and action shots. Add on the amazing light at golden hour and you have a winner!
Heather Farm Park
A must-see if you want a pet-friendly spot with open fields, duck ponds, and colorful gardens. If you want a range of pet photography looks in one place, Heather Farm Park is it! There’s even a gazebo.
Acalanes Ridge
Quieter than some of the bigger parks, Acalanes has winding trails, wide-open sky and a sight-line to Mt Diablo. Springtime bonus: amazing wildflower blooms
Civic Park
In the heart of downtown Walnut Creek, this place has a good combo of nature and structure. Trees, bridges, and creekside paths make it a photogenic and varied setting for an outdoor photoshoot..
