Here are select portraits from the first 20 events photographed in 2005. That means these are from the first events Virgil Sweeden ever photographed for what was then called Paw Prints Pet Photography.

These photos were all taken before I knew and worked with Virgil. We’ve done our best to identify them. They come from some private portrait events, a few trials, a SICSA event, a Logan County Humane Society event, Barktoberfest, and more. Can you tell that Virgil had only one backdrop in 2005?

Check out all the fun shots we got of kids and dogs!
