We’re truly grateful to the hundreds of photographers from around the world who took part in our Bragging Rights promotion.

Here, in no particular order, are the people whose work we chose to celebrate the love and laughter, vibrant cultures, dramatic environments and compelling stories we see every day in the books and albums we make...

Animal, Portrait & Lifestyle photographer Rachael Hale McKenna is based in France. Rachael is famous for her cute and quirky images of animals, and she has a number of books published so she sent us a variety of images from several different shoots. The images (like the one above of Merlin) are just full of personality, life and fun.

Check out Rachael's website for inspiration. Then please go hire a great photographer for your own special occasion or beloved pets! You won’t be sorry!
