Jessica McGovern FSWPP FBIPP is one of the world’s most respected and influential pet photographers, renowned for her remarkable connection with animals and her ability to create impactful, technically exceptional imagery. A triple Fellowship holder with more than 250 international competition accolades, Jessica has had her work published in numerous online and print publications.

As the founder of That Tog Spot, an internationally recognised hub for pet photography education, Jessica has built a thriving community of photographers worldwide. What began on YouTube—with medium-form videos amassing 3.5 million views and over 30 years of combined watch time—has evolved into a comprehensive learning platform, including her exclusive member-only education Vault.

Alongside her photographic achievements, Jessica is an accomplished strategic and digital marketer, with over a decade of success using video content to grow her own and other brands. In 2024, she expanded her reach into other creative ventures, achieving viral success with short-form video—her very first 63-second TikTok on a new account reached 500k views in just hours.

Based on a converted farm steading in South West Scotland, Jessica lives with her dogs Alfie, Bryt, Ren, Lemon, and Zest, and her horses Tuna, Connie, and Velia—each an important part of her creative life and inspiration.
