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.

Sunny, thank you for the smile upon your face

Even though we had to reschedule this session, I think it actually worked in our favour as the combination of sunshine, warmth and colours were the perfect example of a beautiful fall day. I had a great time with Jason, Laurie, Aidan and Zach, documenting another year in their lives. Zach just started kindergarten so […]

We love them! Thanks so much May!

Wish I could stay forever this young

We lucked out again and got awesome fall weather for this afternoon shoot. I spent my time with a really sweet family that has two adorable little boys. Tyler has almost caught up to his big brother Luke in height – in fact, he’s grown so much that his mom says people have asked if […]

Great fall colours, great location, great photos May!

Lift up your hearts with a smile

We have known Kim and Mark for quite some time and they are two of the nicest people we know and it’s great to see the family again. Their girls Maddy, Grace and Julia, the three blondies, are growing like weeds – seriously, where does the time go? This shoot marks another year that has […]

Dear May
It wasn’t an easy task to photograph our lively crew that day, but I sure love these moments that you captured. That is us! And, it is a good reminder of all that we have to be thankful for this weekend. Thank you so much :)

Great smiles all around! Awesome family :)

She puts colour inside my world

I’m so glad we live in a place where we can experience the changing of the seasons – I can’t imagine not having Septembers and Octobers to look forward to each year. How boring would that be? Lucky me, I got to see these three little ladies (Ella, Sadie and Hanna) twice this year. First […]
