To All of My Valued Customers
I have been receiving a large volume of requests lately for various services and it may take longer than normal to return your e-mails or phone calls. Keep in mind this is a one man operation. I do all of the modeling, photography, video, website updates, packing, shipping, and responses to e-mails. Each customer is highly valued and excellent customer service is at the top of my priority list. If you do not hear back from me, please e-mail or call again. I am NOT ignoring you. I am just one man doing the work of two or three and sometimes e-mails get lost in the bottom of my e-mail box.
