welcome to the ericamay blog!

Hi! I'm Erica May Short, and I'm so excited that you're visiting my photography blog. This blog will show you all of 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 love stories. My photography style is a fun and relaxed documentary style, and I focus more on emotions than posed stuff. :) Besides photography, I love my husband (Jeff), our miniature schnauzer (Petey), and the color green.

Senior Photos: Jacob (My Little Brother!)

I’ve been looking forward to taking my little brother’s senior photos for a while now. He’s a great sport to let his older sister take his photos, and for the whole family to go along and watch. Poor guy. But he’s a champ. It’s hard to believe that he’s a senior. I keep...

This session had a lot of...

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...

Kansas City Senior Photos: Maggie on the Plaza

Maggie is so adorable. She’s one of the awesome high school students that I get the chance to know through volunteering with HOBY. She drove a few hours from her hometown to Kansas City so I could take her senior photos, and I was so honored! I’m so jealous of her incredibly long, beautiful eyelashes!...
