We love meeting New Zealanders doing good things around the world, so it was great to catch up with Rachael and Andy McKenna last night.

Born and bred a Kiwi, Rachael has published fourteen books over the course of her career, reflecting her passion for photographing pets and babies.

Rachael and Andy have been based in France for the last four years, so no surprise that her latest titles are the delightful The French Cat, The French Dog and Lunch in Provence.

Rachael's latest project is The New York Dog. If you're card-carrying dog lovers like us, you'll find the images in this blog post heartwarming. As you'd expect, it looks like the tone of the new book (still work in progress) will be completely different - makes me want to go back soon!

Rachael is speaking in Auckland as part of NZIPP InFocus tonight and Monday. If you're going, lucky you :)

Click here for a Workspace slideshow of Rachael's images, or here for her website. Rachael is on Facebook here and those New York dogs even have their own Facebook page. Like!

We've just supplied Rachael and Andy with their first ever Queensberry prints, so we're hoping to see a lot more of them.

Cheers, Ian
