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.

Look at the stars, look how they shine for you

When Jody and I started talking about her upcoming shoot, I joked about a school bus in the background. I’m not sure why I thought of it as we’ve done a “back to school” type shoot with Brooklyn (Miss B) in the past. Anyways, it turns out I had planted the seed and the idea […]

These pics just blow me away!! I stress every year about these photos (mostly because I don’t know how to coordinate outfits) and then you talk me off the ledge, become my temporary personal stylist and we pull off a great shoot:) Every time I see the pics I am just amazed and I wonder why I stress about it–you work magic with that camera and the photos would probably still be brilliant even if we were wearing garbage bags;)
