This video marks my first proper introduction of property content on social media and it feels like the right moment. What started developing quietly in the final quarter of 2025 is now ready to grow in 2026.

Alongside this, Rara Photography has gently evolved into RARA - an umbrella brand that brings together all of the professional services I now offer across people, product, and property. It’s a subtle rebrand, but one that reflects where the business has naturally grown to.

Over the past while, I’ve reinvested heavily in upskilling and equipment, expanded into professional video, and I’m now a licensed drone operator. I’ve had the privilege of shooting a number of beautiful properties (including this one for ), many of which are now live on my website, with a dedicated video portfolio coming to YouTube very soon.

I’m genuinely excited for the year ahead, for this new chapter of RARA, and for what’s to come. I’m also embarking on a very personal creative project this year, something close to my heart and I can’t wait to bring you along on that journey too.

Here’s to moving forward, with intention.

✨ A festive, community-centred day designed to bring families, friends, and locals out and about to shop, support, and enjoy the Christmas spirit.
✨ Professional photography on the day, attracting more visitors and giving you extra exposure.
✨ A real chance to make strong sales before Christmas — perfect timing for gift buyers and festive shoppers.

🛍 Vendor Table Options:
• €35 – 4ft Table (ideal for service providers & smaller displays)
• €50 – 8ft Table (best for larger set-ups & crafters needing space)
