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 Portraits: Bree and Brian, Columbus Park

It’s hard to believe that it was over two years ago that Bree and Brian got married, and I got to shoot their wedding. :) It’s hard to believe how quickly life changes and we find ourselves in a new place — somewhere maybe very different than where we imagined just a few short years before! I love that Bree and Brian ended up in the Kansas City area at the same time I did. :) Bree and I got to be good friends during our time at K-State, and it was awesome to catch up with them a little bit and take some fun photos of them a few years after they said “I do.”

We took photos in the Columbus Park area of Kansas City (just east of River Market) — it’s a cool Italian district of the city!
