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: Maggie on the Plaza

Maggie is so adorable. She’s one of the awesome high school students that I get the chance to know through volunteering with HOBY. She drove a few hours from her hometown to Kansas City so I could take her senior photos, and I was so honored! I’m so jealous of her incredibly long, beautiful eyelashes! You will be, too, after seeing her pretty eyes in these photos. :)

We met up on the Plaza for the session, and it was a busy day there since the weather was absolutely incredible. Shooting at the Plaza is always interesting, since the storefronts are always changing displays and there are fun things to work with. Here are some of my favorites from the shoot!
