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.

The sweet days of summer

I had the chance to visit a wonderful family on a perfect, hot summer day in Lac Du Bonnet. I’ve known Kristie, Kenny and their three amazing kids Graham, Julia and Lila, since the first time I shot them a few years ago. The kids are now taller, chattier and just as sweet (and silly) […]

Mike, Corinne and her family happily agreed to meet me early in the morning for our shoot and although 7 AM would have been absolutely perfect, I didn’t want to push my luck. This adorable family will soon be adding a baby boy to the mix, due in the next week or so! I’m so […]

Yes, it is finally summer and it definitely feels like it now with the warmer temps. I spent the beautiful, sunny afternoon with one amazing family to document baby Kai’s half-year age. Big sister Sophie is an awesome big sister and I think she’d make a great family portrait assistant. She had no problem getting […]

Okay, these are just the cutest, most adorable photos! Love them all, but S&K together are priceless! A lot of keepers and framers for sure.

Welcome, Elizabeth! It was so great to meet you. I was honoured that Karin and Mike asked me to photograph their beautiful family. I really enjoyed catching up with the new parents and it appeared that they were handling parenthood quite well. This didn’t surprise me as I have always known these two individuals to […]
