About Eb
Hey, I’m Ebony
Traveller, photographer, ocean lover
I’m a Sydney-based maternity, newborn, family, and underwater photographer capturing real, beautiful, imperfect moments for families across the Eastern Suburbs and Sutherland Shire. My camera has been my constant companion for as long as I can remember, and years of travelling the world capturing raw, untouched moments completely shaped the way I see and photograph life today.
My story
Photography found me long before I found photography. I’ve always been drawn to documenting the everyday, the messy, the mundane, the magical. It was while travelling the world that everything clicked. Capturing raw, unscripted moments in places far from home taught me that the most powerful images are the ones you don’t plan. That feeling, of freezing a fleeting, honest moment in time, is what brought me home to Sydney and into the world of family photography.
That same feeling is what drives my work today. I don’t photograph perfect families. I photograph real ones. I photograph the way your toddler refuses to sit still, the way your partner looks at you when they think no one’s watching, the way your newborn curls into your chest like it’s the safest place in the world. Because it is.
Why I do what I do
I believe that the most beautiful photographs are the ones that feel like real life. Not staged, not stiff, not trying too hard. Just honest, warm, full of love. My job is to create a space where you feel comfortable enough to be yourselves, and then I capture what unfolds.
I’m also obsessed with underwater photography. Mermaid maternity sessions are my absolute passion, there’s something so powerful and ethereal about a mother floating weightlessly in water, celebrating the life growing inside her. It’s magic, and I’m the only photographer in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs offering this experience.
What you can expect from me
I’m warm, I’m relaxed, and I’ll probably make you laugh. I’ll guide you gently but I’ll never force a pose or make you feel awkward. I’ll be patient with little ones, I’ll celebrate your body exactly as it is, and I’ll deliver images that make you feel something every time you look at them.
I work from my cosy studio in Botany for newborn sessions, and across Sydney’s most beautiful outdoor locations for everything else. Golden hour at the beach is my happy place.
What I Believe
My approach to photography
Real over perfect
I’d rather capture a genuine belly laugh than a posed smile any day. Your imperfections are what make your photos beautiful.
Comfort first
Whether it’s your newborn’s needs or your own nerves, your comfort always comes first. I create a space where you can relax and be yourselves.
Every chapter matters
From bump to baby and beyond, every stage of your family’s journey deserves to be documented and treasured.
When I’m Not Shooting
A little more about me
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me chasing our Groodle Reggie around the beach, planning the next van trip up or down the coast, or exploring new locations to shoot.
I live in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs and I genuinely love what I do. Every session reminds me why I started, because these moments are everything, and they deserve to be remembered.
Eb isn’t just a photographer, she’s a friend with a camera. She made us feel so at ease from the moment we walked in and the images she delivered are beyond anything we could have imagined. She captured our family exactly as we are.
