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.

So glad to see you sunshine

I wrapped up the fall season with a session with two-year old Brooklyn and her parents Jody and Chris. The sun only came out briefly that morning; however, Brooklyn’s smiles and bright blue eyes are always warm and sunshine-y. Brooklyn is such a cute petite thing with a mind of her own and a funny […]

I love all of Brooklyn’s portraits…sooo cute! Great job May!

Love them May!!! Haha, it took me a minute to figure out why Chris wasn’t moved in closer to us on some of the shots…then I remembered that once Brooklyn started getting cranky she kept telling Chris to “go away”!! The drama has begun already and she’s only two…YIKES!!

Great pictures of Miss Brooklyn – I like the mix of shots of her serious (grumpy??) side with lots of her smiles and laughter too! Especially love the ones of beautiful mommy and beautiful daughter!

Kid, you’ll move mountains

I was really looking forward to seeing Brent, Nancy and Drew this fall again. Drew was also turning two, like so many of the other kids I photographed this season. He is a little charmer, this one, with his cool bomber jacket and soulful brown eyes. He was big into the whole tossing the autumn […]

Such a sweet boy with a great family!! Great work May!!

The heart of life is good

Back in October, I spent the morning with my dear friend Kim, her husband Craig and their adorable little boy Carson. Carson is now two and will soon be a big brother in December. Seriously, I cannot believe two years have gone by already since this little dude entered the world. I have shot so […]

Hi May,
We absolutely love the photos! You did a great job of capturing Carson and us as a family. I can’t tell you enough how beautiful they are! I will have trouble picking a few to frame. Can’t wait for the next shoot with the new baby. Thanks again for the shoot, and all your advice leading up to it!

So many of my smiles begin with you

I was so honoured that Corinne and Mike asked me to take their family photos this fall. Mike and my hubby are actually cousins, so I guess you could say we are actually related. Their two kids, Wendy and Adam, are two of the sweetest little people I know, so happy and mild-mannered. And the […]
