ABOUT EBONY -
BRISBANE PHOTOGRAPHER
Capturing your story...Beautifully
Hi, I’m Ebony — the heart behind Zali Photography and Film.
If you're looking for someone to capture your big life moments in a timeless, joyful, and elegant way, then you’ve come to the right place!
I’m a Brisbane-based newborn, maternity, family and wedding photographer with over 8 years of experience capturing love, connection, and real life magic. Whether it's your baby's first days, your wedding day, or a moment in the middle of everyday family life, I'm here to preserve it with intention and artistry.
The Story Behind ZALI
ZALI is named after my daughters, Zara and Lily, the original inspiration behind my work. They remind me every day how quickly time moves, and why it matters to hold onto the little things that we sometimes take for granted. Creating images that honour your story, in a way that you can feel that memory again , is what I love most.
Photography With Purpose
I’ve always been drawn to love, motherhood, and meaningful connection. Photography should feel like home - real, emotive and light-filled. It's not just about pretty pictures - it's about building a legacy... our story. Photographs are our time capsules, a way to honour where we've been and who we love.
Let's Capture Your Story
Whether you're growing your family, marrying your love, or just want to bottle up this beautiful season of life — I would be honoured to tell your story.
INSPIRED BY LOVE AND CONNECTION... ALWAYS
My mission
as a newborn, family & wedding Photographer in Brisbane is to preserve the finer details, love and connection in our moments and to curate heirloom pieces for you and your family to adore for generations to come.
My Studio & Where I Work
My custom-built natural light studio is located in Moggill, Brisbane, offering a calm and welcoming space for newborn and baby sessions. I also offer in-hospital Fresh 48 sessions at:
-
And other South East Queensland hospitals
I capture families and weddings across Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Toowoomba, Byron Bay, Noosa, and beyond.
Outside the Studio...
When I'm not behind the lens, you'll find me:
-Chasing golden light with my family (yes, we plan our days together around the sunset!)
- Sipping lattes in the morning sun, or a cheeky cocktail in the afternoon
- Dreaming of the Mediterranean and styling our home to feel like a coastal villa
- Eating pasta and drinking wine like it's a love language
Life's too short not to romanticise not the little things.. right?!
There's magic even in the smallest of moments...
Over the years, my girls have been my greatest muse. They’ve taught me to slow down — to notice the way light falls, how laughter lingers, and to see the magic in everyday moments. Watching them grow — in what feels like the blink of an eye — reminded me just how precious time really is.
That gentle urgency is what led me to photography. I wanted to hold onto those fleeting moments — not posed or perfect, but honest and real.
I believe the beauty of a photograph lies in its truth. My editing reflects how I see the world — no trends, no altered tones, just thoughtful, meaningful storytelling. I care deeply about the experience I create and the details I preserve.
Below are just a handful of the in-between moments and milestones I’ve captured of my girls — the kind of memories that matter most.
