Photography by May Arason-Li bio picture

  • Hello!

    Thanks for stopping by. In case you didn’t know, I love photography and I am fortunate to be able to share my passion with you. I simply cannot imagine going through life without photographs - there are just so many reasons for taking photos. To remember, to relive, to share, to learn, to tell a story, to create, to feel... I could go on forever. The wonderful thing about photographs is that they are instantaneous. And as we change through life, so do the images we want to capture. I believe in capturing beautiful, modern images for modern families. More importantly, I want to capture the connection between family members. I care very much about getting to know my clients and having fun during our sessions. I am not trying to create the perfect image of you - rather, real images of genuine happy, silly, fun and tender family moments. This site features my most recent session along with some personal images peppered in. I am so thrilled to have met so many wonderful people and they have all inspired me in one way or another.

    Please enjoy the photos on this site and by all means, please feel free to get in touch with me if you think my style and vision matches yours.

Everything is awesome

I always look forward to seeing this family each year. And this year, I discovered their mutual love for all things Lego and Star Wars – seriously, that they are so awesome. Dad brought along some of the boys’ favourite Lego figures and we joked about how we needed to “kragle” them to my camera which […]

Lovely photos! So many great photos for the family to choose from. Especially with three kids looking at the camera!

I’ve got sunshine on a cloudy day

Another year has gone by and these sweet girls have grown so much! Especially Hanna, who is now two and the youngest of the three – it’s hard for me to think that she’s no longer a baby but I always think that of the youngest ones! All three girls are so uniquely beautiful in […]

Your smiles brings out the sun

For a family who loves the water as much as this one does, it made sense to go to the beach for their photo session. Shoots at the beach, especially during the golden hours, are definitely one of my favourites. Maddy, Grace and Julia have all grown and changed so much in the last year so it was great […]

Every little thing’s gonna be alright

This year, many of the kids I photograph happen to be turning five and starting school at the same time. It’s a big deal! Drew is one of those kids and he is kind of a big deal! And so is his sister Emily. She turned one this spring and also started to walk. During our shoot, she just wanted […]

Great shots of one of my favourite families!!

She’s just a girl and she’s on fire

August 30, 2015 Posted in family, kids

For years now, I have been photographing Brooklyn, aka Miss B, and she is truly a joy to be around. With kindergarten right around the corner, her mom and I decided to do a school themed shoot for this year’s session. I don’t know if it’s because it’s been a year since I last photographed […]

Wow the years have gone by so quickly. She is so beautiful. Her great – grandma would’ve been so proud of her. Thank you for allowing me to continue to be friends on Facebook. Always enjoy your posts of Brooklyn and all the funny and beautiful pictures of her. Have a wonderful day.
