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.

Yes, they’re back! I had the chance to shoot the good looking duo Elliot and Kieran again this year. It’s a big year for them as they just turned three, started preschool AND they are going to be big brothers! I can’t wait to meet the little one in the future. It was great to […]

So cute! Great job, May!

And I don’t wanna miss a thing

It’s been a beautiful fall season and the morning of my session with Drew and his family was no exception. I’m excited to share this shoot as there are so many great photos of this family, especially Drew, who is more handsome each year. Like all three-year old boys, he is full of energy, giggles […]

Great session May! Love the location and all the playful images. LOVE that last shot – that image is begging to be made big!

You take the grey skies out of my way

I had a such a great time with Miss Brooklyn and her parents during this shoot. Now that she’s a preschooler, I feel like I’m talking to a mini adult – she is super chatty and funny and she couldn’t stop talking about taking ballet dance class. We had fun walking around a beautiful park […]

May, LOVE them!! As always the pictures rock and I couldn’t be happier!!

I get by with a little help from my friends

This post is so long overdue as it was taken back in the summertime. This was a shoot I had hoped to do for some time and after much back and forth between all the parents on dates during summer break, plus having to reschedule once, we managed to get all four of these girlfriends […]

What beautiful little girls! Your photos sure bring out the best in people. The quilt makes an awesome background.

These pictures are fantastic May! You did such a great job capturing the girls and their personalities. I love the colours and who can complain about the heat when the photographer packs some yummy lemonade. I do hope they remain good friends. They are all so lovely. I am so thankful that you took the time to create and capture these memories and these times in their lives.

Ahhhhhhh…. the pictures are amazing! I just love that we have this moment captured in time. When the girls grow up and the are 16 and in the midst of their teenager years, it will be awesome to pull these pictures out and remember when they were soooooooo sweet ! I have posted these up on facebook to share with my friends… it took me this long to sit down and actually do it…

Thanks May!

It’s a beautiful day, don’t let it get away

It makes me happy to see these kids again – another year has gone by and they are all growing so fast. The boys were two month old babies when I first met them and now they are in preschool. And their big sister is such a wonderful girl who is sweet, bright and always […]
