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.

You put a smile on my heart

Last year this time, baby Julia was just sitting up. Now she’s running around, running after her sisters Maddy and Grace, running from them… These girls are growing up before my eyes and from behind my camera and it’s just another reason I love what I do. It is a gift for me too, to […]

My eyes are swelled up with tears of joy, and pride. Little Grace has surprised us all with her in front of the camera charm! We all knew she had it in her. May-you have out done yourself once again. Kimmy and Mark- how do you choose?! What beautiful memories of your family!

Outstanding photos, May.

I’ve got nothing to do today but smile

Last month, I had the pleasure of meeting Michelle and Darrin and their three adorable kiddos Sarah, London and Luke, for a family photo session. As soon as Sarah got out of the car, she came over to say hello and gave me a hug right away. Seriously. How many four year olds do that […]

Hi May, love the shots, you did a great job capturing the kids personality’s. Thanks again

If you are a dreamer, come in

Almost six years old and full of spunk and energy, Mattie is a perfect blend of her parents, Kevin and Marnie – but I kept wondering who she reminded me more of at times, especially when she was making her serious or silly faces and everything in between. I’ll let close friends and family ponder […]

Beautiful photos! I love the matching boots ladies :) Mattie is a little Marn but has a good dose of Kev in her too!

What a beautiful family! Marnie an Kevin look the exact same as they did 20 years ago! Mattie is a beauty. Outstanding pictures May!

Oh, brother of mine

It was so fun to meet these two sweet boys as I had heard lots about them already. Elliot (white shirt) and Kieran (blue shirt) are twins in case you haven’t noticed and they, like most twins, do everything together. The boys and their parents Mel and Ellen, Grandpa and Shamrock (adorable Fox Terrier) met […]

You are the apple of my eye

I always look forward to my photo shoot with Sophie and her parents. Sophie is fun, sweet and sassy and now that she’s five, so many exciting things are happening in her life – like starting Kindergarten, making new friends and having a loose tooth. Always fashionable and looking cute, I have loved seeing Sophie […]
