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.

Ohm on the range – all things robot

A couple of weekends ago, on a sunny, blustery afternoon, I met up with Sandy, Rick, Everett and Kathryn for some family photos. Talk about nice family and cute kids – little Kathryn recently turned one and looked like a little fashionista in her denim jacket, colourful dress and capris. She was motoring around and […]

You are my sunshine

I couldn’t wait to get this post up and not a day too late as it is sweet baby Julia’s birthday today. Happy birthday, little brown-eyed beauty. It’s already been a year since you arrived – where did the year go? Your parents know you are the last child but certainly not the least. In […]

Little Scotty

Pat and Sherry welcomed baby Scott into the world last month and he broke the streak of baby girls I met this year. Sherry and I met over 10 years ago (okay more than that) and it was only recently that we met up again through work. I laugh at some of the things we […]

Hi May, thanks soooo much for the beautiful photos of our little Scotty! We love them! You did a wonderful job and I’m so glad we had these photos taken.

You’re so right: Sherry is one of the most photogenic people I’ve ever known (we go back to junior high at Jefferson and maybe earlier). It’s all that warm caring personality shining out from her blue blue eyes. You’ve captured her, her husband and their sweet baby beautifully here. Thank you for sharing these pictures :)

Linda - March 23, 2012 - 8:39 pm

Love love love the b&w shot where he looks like he’s grinning a bit. Kind of miss those newborn moments looking at these shots. Just a little. Great work (once again) May!

Sherry - March 26, 2012 - 8:22 pm

Aw Christine I just saw your comment today – you’re so sweet :)
Thanks again May for making our new little family look so great!

Kinley Ann

So far this year, it’s been raining baby girls! First-time parents Tyler and Sara could not be more smitten with their beautiful little girl Kinley. I know how tiring it can be to be first-time parents, the feedings and long nights, learning everything as you go – it is wonderful and exhausting at the same […]

Beautiful pictures May! I can say from experience that Tyler and Sara will treasure these pictures of precious newborn goodness. :)

Jim and Heather Dickson - February 26, 2012 - 3:29 pm

Beautiful! Great photography and of course the subjects are exceptional!! ( Kinley’s grandparents would never be biased I don’t care what anyone says LOL)

Linda - March 23, 2012 - 8:42 pm

They all look so happy and in love! What a wonderful moment to capture!

Baby Keelin

The second baby girl I met in the new year was little Miss Keelin. Her parents Hilary and Mike could not be more delighted about her arrival. In fact, Hilary had the same due date as my sister Judy and delivered a day before she was due. I had also been eagerly anticipating her arrival […]
