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.

Kansas City Engagement: Janene and Jordan

Welcome to the new ericamay blog!

These two get to have the honor of being the FIRST couple to break in this BRAND-NEW BLOG!!

Janene and Jordan are also one of the few engaged couples I have left to photograph in 2009! It seems so crazy — I can’t believe it! We met up at Loose Park for their engagement session right before the sun set (and even a little bit after), for some fall-themed photos to capture their love! They got engaged last October and are looking forward to a wedding next May in their hometown area. I’m so glad I got to meet them both for their engagement session!

It’s possible that I told Janene how beautiful her hair was a billion times during the shoot. :)

Janene said they wanted to feel super comfortable, so for the second half of their session, they wore exactly what they’d wear on a normal day! Janene loves hoodies… and she looks super cute in them! :) I love that they were totally themselves, because I’m always telling my clients to be comfortable!
