YOU'VE MADE ME FALL IN LOVE ALL OVER AGAIN.
If you’re looking for some of the most original, eye-catching and artistic animal photography in Ontario, look no further.
Your relationship with your pets is amazing. The thousands of hours you’ve spent together should be commemorated; remembered with more than just cellphone snaps or ribbons on a wall. Life can be fragile and unpredictable, and sometimes our time spent with our pets is too fleeting. This is why it is so important to capture this relationship in photographs.
My clients are comfortable knowing that I understand their devotion to their animals. I’ve spent years honing my skill behind a camera, commemorating and celebrating animals. I see the love you have for your pets, and cherish being asked to capture it. I understand how to bring out the very best in my subjects.
My photographs have been seen and celebrated around the world. My work is highly artistic and has a style all of its own. However, it is the client experience on which I am most focused. It is my goal for you to come away from every step in the process feeling clear in our plans and confident in our results.
When you hire me as your photographer, you’re hiring someone who understands the emotion behind the little details we see in our animals, and brings them to the forefront in images for you to look back on and cherish.
I welcome you to contact me with any questions you might have, and to discuss turning your pets into works of art.

Kind WordS
I had a wonderful powder photo shoot with Jess and it was AMAZING. Jess made the entire experience incredible and the photos she took are beyond spectacular.
- Cheryl Hart
“I can’t thank Jess Bell enough for this one of a kind experience with my best friend! It was truly a very special and unique photographic experience with my dog that I will treasure forever. Right from the start, Jess was organized and professional, which I can really appreciate. Jess demonstrates a true passion and gift with what she does, she’s a true artist. I hope to use Jess again for another photography session in the near future.”
“Jess was incredibly easy to communicate with about my goals for the session, and the photos exceeded all of my expectations. Jess was very patient with the horses and had some great tricks for getting them to pose for some incredible shots. I could not be more pleased with the way the entire session went, as Jess was always keeping the happiness of the horses as her top priority while still taking the most special photos. ”
