Hi everyone ๐
I just wanted to take a moment to reach out and acknowledge my radio silence online, all of you who have contacted me over the past couple of weeks and my general slowness for the last few months. If youโve been waiting for a reply from me in 2025, I really appreciate your patience and endeavour to get back to you very soon.
As many of you know, I run Ark Collective on my own, and while I always strive to be as present and responsive as possible, life has thrown some very significant challenges our way recently. This week alone we are navigating the loss of my beloved great grandmother, ongoing family difficulties, the added responsibility of caring for two extra children as well as travel to Starship. On top of the week/month we have already endured, our big boy has had urgent medical updates from his doctors in Auckland, requiring him to be admitted either tomorrow or Monday, depending on ambulance availability or support with travel.
During this next week at Starship, I will have my work with me, which means I will have some dedicated time to catch up on my outstanding galleries, emails, and messages. If you are waiting on a response, please know that I will get back to you as soon as I can. If you need to follow up on a gallery, you are more than welcome to send me a message or give me a call, and I will do my best to respond in the coming days. I currently have a queue of less than 10 so rest assured it will be completed by the end of the week.
For anyone looking to book a session quickly while I am in catch up mode, I want to make sure that youโre taken care of! Captured By Tahlia and Photography by Amber and both incredibly talented photographers whom I highly recommend.
Arohanui,
Rhyan
