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.

And these are the moments

December 5, 2014 Posted in family, kids, toddlers

Well, we could not have asked for a more perfect afternoon for photos. The sun was warm, there was only a slight breeze and the leaves were golden and had not yet all fallen – it was simply gorgeous. Fall is so unpredictable every year – just when I thought the warm, sunny days were […]

Her eyes make the stars look like they’re not shinin’

For the past four years, I have had the joy of watching Miss B grow and change in front of my camera. I love this this little gal and her amazing blue eyes and golden curls. Full of energy and personality, she is the epitome of that saying “dynamite comes in small packages.” Happy 4th […]
