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.

Engagement Session in the Rain: Luke and Erika

Luke and Erika’s engagement session at her parents’ home near De Soto, Kansas, was rainy — but perfect for the setting. I loved how the rain and clouds gave the photos an extra romantic feel. The location was beautiful and the people couldn’t be more cute, sweet, and awesome. Especially when they were in the rain for pretty much their entire session. I’m so glad I had the opportunity to photograph them together.

And, seriously. How beautiful is Erika?

They had just picked up their wedding bands from Tiffany’s… wrapped perfectly in their Tiffany’s boxes!

We walked into the woods on the property, where there was all sorts of natural beauty — including these natural stone walls cut out of the earth.
