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.

Aimee and Jeff: Kansas City Bridal Session

Several weeks ago I put out a “casting call” for a fun couple who wanted to participate in a shoot with a group of photographers… Aimee and Jeff were chosen, and they were fantastic. We planned all sorts of fun details for the session, and they got really into the planning with me, which was great. They were also so cool under pressure (“pressure” meaning 5 photographers and 1 videographer!). It was also absolutely freezing — and snowing/raining — but they didn’t complain. It was wonderful.

Aimee’s incredible hair and make-up was the work of super stylist Collen Quinn Nosbish. Check out her Facebook Fan Page for more information on how to book Colleen for your wedding or special event. She was so great to work with, and did an incredible job with hair and make-up!

We headed to the West Bottoms in Kansas City for the shoot! Here are a few of my favorite images from Aimee and Jeff’s session:
