Davis Kids round 2

So I got a call to do some pics for the Davis family, and we literally had less than 15 min. for the whole thing, so we just went into my front yard and went to town. Considering the time I think they turned out pretty darn good. Cute kids!

Em Bridals

I love how these turned out, Em is such a cute girl, and she has the same happy go attitude that her mother has. I loved our shoot together.

6th Water Camping Trip

My boy Jory and I spent last weekend fishing 6th water canyon. Ash was nice enough to let us go for 2 nights, so we tried to do as much as we could in a couple of days.

This is the only picture we have of the big brown that Jory caught, it flopped and swam off before we could get another picture. It was big though. This stream is really pretty small to house a fish larger than 12 inches, but we caught em'.




Not a good picture of the fish I caught, but you can see on the rock all of the caddis flies cases clinging on.


I attempted a couple of underwater photos....they weren't that good.


This photo shows the length of this rainbow that I caught. The indicator on the rod 20" hasn't been used for a while, but we used it on this trip. Biggest fish of the trip.

All of the leaves had just started changing before we got there.




My 2nd biggest fish of the trip (that I landed) this was a 17" fat cut throat.



When we started our hike we had to wade across the stream in our bare feet. It was super cold and it hurt really bad, because we had 50 extra pounds on us. I almost fell in like 10 times

Starting our hike in. We hiked in so we wouldn't see other people. We went about 3 miles, then camped.

John and Kelsey engagements

These guys are such a fun couple, we had a great time on our shoot. Here are a couple to feast your eyes upon. We ended up shooting a couple from the parking lot, which ended up being our destination for the day.

I guess it goes to show that you can make beautiful photos anywhere if you have 2 good looking people.

Kristy and Trevor

Here are a couple of shots we did for their engagements, enjoy!

Westslope Rods

These custom bamboo fly rods are some of the best built that I have seen. They are amazingly custom, you can have Jory build you whatever weight, and action, and weight you want, then you can customize them beyond that you want, with guides, wrap colors, grip, reel seat, etc.

This is one of the rod cases that he built for a rod. Notice the indian head nickel attached to the leather on the cap of the rod tube.

This particular one is a Hex shape

Notice the detail

On the inside of the cap he has a little foam insert you can put unused flies

These wraps can be whatever color
This is a close up of the grip, the smaller pieces are birch bark

This particular rod was built for his dad

The man at work
I am next on the list for a rod, I can hardly wait. I will update you with pics of the build (it takes a couple of months to build). Jory is one of the most talented guys I know, and he learned it all by himself. He also ties all of his own flies, which I really respect.

If you are interested in a rod for yourself, go to his blog and comment with your contact info.
