About Persnickety
Our artistic goal is to honor the compelling bond between pets and the people 
who love them, through personalized, decorative art and accessories
that reflect the joy pets bring to the lives of our clients.
~ Jim and Ann Monteith
Persnickety Pet Portraits is located on a 15-acre farm, where there is plenty of room to exercise and groom
your pet before the session. The camera room is thoroughly pet-friendly and pet-proof.
Persnickety portraits are designed to create decorative focal points that touch the heart and warm the home.
Photographers Jim and Ann Monteith create exceptionally pleasing portraits of dogs — from show dogs to mutts — as well as the people who love them. Both are AKC show veterans and experienced dog handlers, and they are thoroughly knowledgeable about the characteristics of all dog breeds. This helps them not only to portray your pet appropriately, according the breed's standards, but also to highlight the dog's special personality. They are equally at home with cats.
Their images have appeared on the cover and inside the AKC Gazette, in other prestigious dog and cat publications and photographic periodicals, as well as in popular consumer publications and books. The Gazette chose the Monteiths to create their 100th Anniversary cover, and when pet professionals and handlers need personal pet portraits, they turn to the Monteiths.
Both have studied and taught the art of animal portraiture, and they approach pets with the same dignity of purpose with which they photograph people. Each has earned the Master of Photography degree from Professional Photographers of America, of which Ann is a past president.
