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.

We are one!

Oh my, has it been a year already since these guys arrived? The parents of this cute family had a busy week with many milestones as their two little boys turned one – and also learned to walk a couple of months earlier (wow)! As well, their sweet daughter started kindergarten at the same time, […]

Carson turns one!

Remember this little star from a year ago? Well, Carson just turned one and I am thinking to myself… seriously, where did the year go? Now a full-fledged toddler, Carson has big plans for this year, like walking, running, talking, eating fun food, making new friends at daycare – it just keeps getting better and […]

Hi May,

Absolutely love the photos! Thank you so very much. Carson was having a bad day, making your job very difficult and I am so glad that you were able to create so many fantastic images. You captured his expressions and personality perfectly and these will be amazing keepsakes for us as he grows older. Thanks again, Kim and Craig

Hello May,

I have to agree with Kim, you have once again captured our handsome grandson's personality perfectly. We love each and every shot and will never be able to decide which ones to print for framing. Thanks for doing such a wonderful job. Joe and Donna Burt

Sisters, forever friends

Oh goodness, where to begin… I have been looking forward to seeing twin sisters Abby and Ellen for months and I was thrilled to see how much they have grown and changed since the last time we met. Well, no surprise, these girls are beautiful, healthy and happy, much to their parent’s delight… and definitely […]

Beautiful photos May! Cindy you look amazing and you have a wonderful family. I love the clothesline with the baby clothes :)

It's so funny to see all the expressions on the girls faces… Can anyone guess which is the "I'm grinding my teeth" face? And to see Abby with her mouth open, very representative of miss chatty-pants. Elly with the "I'm the one who is a little more timid" expression. Thanks May!

Great session!! Love the photos!

[…] just not complete without a visit with these two cuties – they’ve grown a lot since our session last year and they are running around and talking like it’s nobody’s business. I met Abby, Elly […]

Together is the happiest place to be
