Hello,
Yes I am back in the office today. We arrived last night around 10:30pm. I will be spending the rest of the next couple of days answering e-mails, sending out orders, proofing images, and the like. Please do not continue to send e-mails asking on the status of your order. The more time I take to answer those is that much longer that it takes me to prepare, package and ship them. If you get a status update of “at lab” this is merely a courtesy so that you know your order is progressing, depending on your order it may take anywhere for 2-10 weeks after this e-mail for your order to be ready. Please refer to your Agreements for a timeline of delivery. If you would like your proofs or your products rushed you may request this at an additional fee upon availability. Remember there is no such thing as a photography emergency.
It has been a crazy few weeks here with lots happening beyond our control (basement flooding and death of family). For all of you who have been patient and understanding thank you very much! I hope that in times of unforseen circumstances you will be granted the same.
The office was completely closed as Ayden and I traveled to my hometown of Fort Bragg, CA to be with family after the unexpected death of my mother. Our primary concern while there was to spend time with my dad and other family to help get through tough times. Family first. Once caught up I’ll post lots of blog posts for customers as well as some of the stuff we did, until then the blog will be still.
Here is Ayden and my dad. Ayden was a great distraction for him.

ps I have one child of my own Ayden, Kaleb is my stepson you don’t see him on here much as he doesn’t live with us and I just don’t seem to get as many images of him. However he has been on here a few times and hopefully a lot more in the future.
Stacey Doyle - Cory Ann,
Thinking about you and wishing you all some peace during this time.

I was reading the obituary that you linked and it mentioned that she had two Ellis grandchildren, Ayden and Kaleb.
I thought you only had one son! Have I missed something?!
