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 Senior Photos: Alex, Shawnee Mission Northwest

It’s the season for seniors! I love springtime because of all the big things that happen — including graduations! I recently met up with Alex for his senior session at his school, which was awesome. We did all of his photos around or inside the school, which was really fun.

This session had a lot of firsts for me — first senior session with a bassoon, first in a pool area (he’s a swimmer), first inside the hallways of a school, etc. I love getting to shoot in new locations, and Shawnee Mission Northwest is a pretty neat school inside, especially their new wing for band and orchestra.

Here are a few of my favorites:

Yes, those are lockers in the background. Probably the coolest high school lockers I’ve ever seen.
