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 Session: Andrea and Jon (and Lucy, the Chinese Crested)

I met Andrea, Jon and their canine daughter Lucy for an engagement session at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. I have never met a Powderpuff Chinese Crested before, and I’m so glad I had the chance to meet little Lucy, who was super cute. Andrea and Jon met in college, through their involvement with the band. Music is a big thing for both of them, which is awesome — Andrea is finishing her Master’s degree in French Horn Performance and Jon is a school band director. Lucy just likes to howl along while they play. :)
