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.

My Family

I have pretty Rad little family

This is Rob, he fell off the monkey bars 2 times, I missed catching him both times.  The second fall he fell on his feet then his face, so he had sand and dirt all over his face and his lip was bleeding.  It took him about 2 minutes to get over it then he was ready to play again.

I caught Ash off guard as she just got done doing a workout on the tramp, she still has her workout attire on.  How embarrassing.

Which one is more professional?

Kurt and I have been meaning to get some shots now that he is a Doctor, so at our get together tonight we took about 2 minutes and shot a couple.  I think they turned out pretty good for shooting under the deck.  Kurt, let me know what you think?

check out the LONG (their last name) wedding.

Jess Bridals

This day started in a bad way, and only got worse. Jess gets married on Wed. and we wanted to get some bridals to hang up for the reception, so we planned on doing it on Saturday. Knowing that it was probably going to rain we scheduled it anyway. We went to the place I last shot because it was the only place i knew that we could shoot outside in the rain.

Long story short, on my way to our location the crazies tsunami storm came through and the traffic on the freeway was going like 10 mph..... it was crazy! We hung out for a few minutes then the storm started to clear up.

Game on. We started shooting under the bridge, then moved outside as the weather got better. Jess looked fantastic, and her mom and sister really helped out a lot.

Which one is your favorite?

Enjoy,
