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.

Oh how happy she is today

And every time I see Victoria, she is happy. I can’t believe my sweet little niece is two already! For her photos, we went to the studio again and this time, I brought along an equally cute studio assistant to help me out. I think the two cousins really enjoyed themselves. I love some of […]

Back in September when I shot this family’s fall session, I knew they were expecting baby #2 and at that time, Nancy was barely showing. Well, their gorgeous little girl has finally arrived! Welcome baby Emily, it’s so great to finally meet you! Brent, Nancy, Drew and Emily make such a perfect little family, I […]

Although shooting lifestyle family sessions in the great outdoors are my absolute favourite kind of photo sessions, when we are in the middle of winter here and dealing with -30C temperatures, sometimes we have no place to go but indoors. For this shoot, we headed to a bright white studio space with room for three […]

It’s that time of the year again and I realize that my kids’ birthdays are just around the corner and it’s time to start planning. At the same time, I’m looking back on the past year and I am amazed by how much they have changed. Especially with our sweet girl, who started grade one this […]
