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.

Kayden – 9 months old

The sweet beginnings of summer finally arrived on the day I was shooting three of my favourite blonde-haired, blue-eyed kiddos. After being rescheduled two times due to uncooperative weather, we finally opted for an afternoon time on a day that was just right. Can you believe baby Kayden is already nine months old? Every time […]

It’s good to be a kid

Last month, our family unit headed over to Assiniboine Park where the latest attraction, the Children’s Nature Playground, opened to the public. I had been anticipating the opening of this park for quite some time and it did not disappoint. We were completely blown away and by the looks on the faces of the other […]

Great photos May! Makes me think I should go back. Maybe today? As always, your kids are absolutely, positively adorable. And your photography is amazing.

Hello Julia.

One minute, Kim and Mark were strolling through their favourite bookstore and a few hours later, Julia Paige was snuggled up in Kim’s arms. Wow. At least they were able to enjoy an entire movie beforehand. It was so nice to meet Baby J, she was a perfect little bundle and never made a peep […]

May, these are beautiful photos. No wonder we all love your work! I adore sleeping newborn photos. What an angel she is.

Easy, breezy, beautiful.

I met up the wonderful “R” family at the park last weekend. It was a gorgeous, sunny day and although the winds were ridiculously strong, I was thrilled the family still wanted to shoot outside. Everyone, especially the kids, were so easygoing and fun to work with. There were so many photos I loved from […]

Haydn and Owen – 9 months old

I was so excited to see Haydn and Owen (and their parents) again and check out how much they had grown and changed from when they were just two months old. Now nine months old already, it was so fun to see how their own little personalities have developed and watching how they interact with […]
