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.

Three little girls

One with straight hair and one with lots of curls… and one with no hair yet! Madeline (Maddy), Grace and Julia are five years, three years and six months old, respectively. It seems like these past five years have flown by quickly. These girls are growing like weeds and they look so different from how […]

I am in love with this family! (Aunty Kathy didn't know baby Julia had brown eyes either)
May, you captured the personalities of this family beautifully! Thanks for the early morning smiles and laughs (love that the 'family dog' got in one photo)

Miss Blue Eyes

Not too long ago, I met a gal with some of the biggest bluest eyes I’ve seen – a petite sweetie of a girl named Brooklyn and she had just turned one. Although we had the most amazing summer and fall this year, gloomy weather was lurking in the forecast so we decided to move […]

These pictures are so wonderful!! I don't consider myself photogenic so hats off to you May for making us adults look so good!!:) My cutie Miss Brooklyn doesn't need any help in that area:)

A few of my favourite things

When I am editing photos, my daughter Ava likes to look at the photos of the families on my computer and will often count the number of kids from each family. This time she said, “Hey, they have three kids just like us.” She loves finding families with the same number of kids as ours […]

Thank you so much, May!! So many cute shots :) And thanks for all of your patience with our crazy brood that day, it was so nice to finally meet you!

Handsome one year old

I am so lucky that I get to photograph so many amazing people and their families. Brent, Nancy and little Drew are no exception. Remember this darling little baby from one year ago? Hard to believe he’s already one and looks so grown up and handsome. During this shoot, we sang a lot of songs […]

Wow, Amazing! There are so many I love, it's hard to pick a favourite! Great work May, beautiful family Nancy & Brent. Happy BIrthday Drew, you are such a cutie pie.

Nancy - November 6, 2011 - 6:50 pm

Thank you so much May!! It is hard to believe that our little 'Baby Drew' is one already, and we are so grateful to have you mark this important milestone with some beautiful pictures. Thanks again – Drew was not that cooperative that day, so these pictures show just how talented you are!

Linda - November 6, 2011 - 7:05 pm

Love the ones of the parents looking at their little boy. Priceless.
