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.

Baby Avery: 4 Months Old

Avery is one of the most wide-eyed babies I have ever photographed. She was so adorable and very intrigued by the loud clicking my shutter makes when I snapped her photos. I had the privilege of taking her portraits in her home, which I always love doing, because the surroundings are familiar for babies, it’s convenient for parents, and the backdrops and settings are special, because it’s home.

Here are just a few of the images I took of sweet little Avery (who was SO good during the shoot!).

I love photos of moms with their babies… aren’t they beautiful?

Towards the end of the session, Avery got very sleepy and fell asleep in her mom’s arms. It was the perfect ending to the shoot!
