Finding the right photographer is about more than choosing someone with a camera. You want someone who understands your vision, helps you feel comfortable and creates photographs that genuinely feel like you.
I’m Ernesta aka Nesta, the photographer behind Nesta Conaty Photography—a professional photography studio based in Crosskeys, County Cavan. I create warm, timeless portraits for families, babies and women from across Cavan and the surrounding counties.
Photography sessions in County Cavan
My private Cavan photography studio offers a relaxed and welcoming environment where every session is thoughtfully planned around you. You don’t need to know how to pose or feel naturally confident in front of the camera. I’ll guide you throughout the entire experience so you can relax, enjoy the moment and look your absolute best.
I offer a range of studio photography sessions, including:
Newborn photography
Maternity photography
Baby milestone and sitter sessions
Cake smash photography
Family photography
Motherhood portraits
Professional headshots
Empowerment and boudoir photography
Seasonal mini sessions
Whether you’re celebrating a pregnancy, welcoming a new baby, marking a first birthday or simply want beautiful family photographs, your session will be designed to reflect your personality and story.
A professional photography studio in Cavan
My home photography studio is located in Crosskeys, Co. Cavan, with convenient access from Cavan Town, Ballyjamesduff, Virginia, Bailieborough and surrounding areas. I also welcome families travelling from Monaghan, Meath, Longford and across Ireland.
Because every session takes place indoors, we never need to worry about the unpredictable Irish weather. The studio includes professional lighting, carefully selected backgrounds, newborn props, wraps, outfits and a maternity wardrobe. Everything is prepared before you arrive, making your experience as easy and enjoyable as possible.
Newborn and baby photography in Cavan
Babies change more quickly than we ever expect. Newborn photography preserves those tiny details—the little fingers, sleepy expressions and delicate features—before they disappear.
Newborn safety is always my priority. Sessions are calm, baby-led and never rushed. I provide the wraps, blankets, props and accessories, while carefully styling each setup to suit your preferred colours and aesthetic.
As your baby grows, milestone, sitter and cake smash sessions are a wonderful way to capture their developing personality. From tiny newborn details to joyful first-birthday celebrations, each chapter deserves to be remembered.
Maternity and family photography
Maternity photography is about celebrating your strength, beauty and the incredible journey into motherhood. You’ll have access to my collection of studio gowns, fabrics and styling options, with full guidance to help you feel confident and beautiful.
Family sessions are relaxed, affectionate and focused on genuine connection. You don’t need perfectly behaved children or complicated poses. Some of the most meaningful photographs happen between the planned moments—the cuddles, laughter and little looks shared between you.
Photography that feels like you
My work is known for its elegant, light and timeless style, but every session is personalised. I don’t want to simply create beautiful photographs. I want to create something magical that feels completely yours.
From planning your outfits and colours to selecting your final images, I’ll guide you through every stage. Your finished photographs are professionally edited and delivered through a private online gallery, ready to be enjoyed, printed and treasured for generations.
