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 Photos in Westport: Yen and Christopher

Yen and Christopher met up with me in the Westport area of Kansas City for a super sweet photo shoot on a chilly afternoon. Luckily, Yen is a trooper and still wore her super cute dress and amazing heels. :) I love it when girls get girly for their engagement sessions!

I also love shooting in urban locations, and Westport has amazing backdrops — all within just a few blocks. We didn’t even go too far for this shoot, and got such a fun variety! Here are my faves.
