welcome to the ericamay blog!

Hi! I'm Erica May Short, and I'm so excited you're here. This blog will show you my current work with a few fun personal things mixed in to help you get to know me better. I am a wedding and portrait photographer in Kansas City, and I love my job. I am so blessed to be a part of so many stories. I care more about people than pictures, because it's your story that provides photo-worthy moments.

Besides photography, I love my husband Jeff, our miniature schnauzer Petey, movie theater candy, and the color green. You can visit my main portfolio website at www.ericamay.com!


All of the fun photos in the blog header are of Jeff and I recently -- taken by our amazingly talented friends Jeremy and Ashley of www.wearetheparsons.com! We have them to thank for capturing us exactly how we are.

Oregon Tulip Festival

We just left the Portland area yesterday — one of the most beautiful parts of the country I have ever seen.

We visited the Tulip Festival in Woodburn, Oregon, while we were...

Victoria in Kansas City’s River Market Area

With clouds looming in the distance, and a weather forecast that promised no rain in Kansas City until noon, Victoria and I set out for a portrait session in the City Market area of Kansas City, Missouri. She’s visiting from Virginia this week, and wanted some updated head shots for her involvement in several organizations,...

Kansas City Senior Photos: Alex, Shawnee Mission Northwest

It’s the season for seniors! I love springtime because of all the big things that happen — including graduations! I recently met up with Alex for his senior session at his school, which was awesome. We did all of his photos around or inside the school, which was really fun. This session had a lot...

Out of Town!

Just a quick note to let you know that I’ll be out of town through April 11th. We’re headed off to Portland, Seattle, and San Francisco! I will have email access, but I’m not taking my computer… so I’ll be forced to vacation. Feel free to email me like normal with questions or details about...

Kansas City Senior Photographer: Katelyn at Kauffman Gardens and the Plaza

I liked Katelyn from the moment I met her — and not only because of her adorableness, her great sense of style, and outgoing personality, but because you can tell that she’s someone who cares deeply about the people around her. If this is the type of student graduating high school right now, then the...
