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 sweetest thing

Blue-eyed boy meets a brown-eyed girl… And the rest is history. Fast forward to just two months ago when Paul and Kathy, the wonderful couple I met, received perhaps the most important call of their lives – a call about a baby girl that was born and was ready to be adopted. Victoria (Tori) clearly […]

I am just tearing up looking at these photos…. Kathy and Paul – I couldn’t be happier for you. Absolutely stunning little girl… with perfect parents.

There’s something about you, baby

Last month, Lori and Ryan welcomed baby girl number 3 into their lives – sweet little Hanna. Lucky her, she gets to looks up to her big sisters Ella and Sadie (and wear all their pink hand-me-downs, hee hee). I met Lori when we were both on the Board of the Manitoba Marathon; however, our […]

Great job capturing a beautiful family!!

And she will be loved

Not too long ago, I had the pleasure of meeting a really nice family with two sweet girls, Elena and her brand new baby sister Sara. I wasn’t sure what Elena would think of me being only two years old and meeting me for the first time in her home. I have to say we […]

Great pictures! My kids are so precious! Thanks for taking the time for being with our family. I hope to work with you again in the summer or fall again!

When I’m happy, colour me a rainbow.

I can’t believe a year ago, this sweet little gal was in front of my camera and now she’s one. It was so great to see you again, Kinley (and Sara and Tyler)! Even though we shot this session is the middle of winter, we found a colourful, super fun backdrop that suited Kinley’s personality. […]

What a doll! Great backdrop for the pictures (and love that Kinley gets a costume change halfway through. :) )
Happy first birthday Kinley!!
