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.

Layne and Lila with a Diana… what?

No, their mom’s name isn’t Diana. It’s Jami. And she’s a pretty hilarious mom blogger if you don’t already follow her blog… she’s kind of famous. Anyway, I’m lucky enough to know their sweet family in real life, and since it’s winter and everyone likes to stay locked up in their houses hibernating instead of...

Film shots of North Carolina

When we took our trip to North Carolina, I also took along a new little friend of mine, a light blue Diana F+ camera, which was an awesome gift from awesome friends. I’ve been having a lot of fun playing with the medium-format film camera, which is totally manual and bears little resemblance to the...
