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.

Sara and Nic’s Wedding at Californo’s

You know those weddings where you leave thinking, “now that was a GREAT day?” The kind of wedding day that involved a lot of laughter, some happy tears, a heartfelt ceremony, and some crazy moves on the dance floor? That was Sarah and Nic’s wedding day. But it was so much more than that. It...
