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.

Kim and Alex’s Kansas City Engagement Session

Kim and Alex are the kind of couple that you like from the instant you meet them. They’re thoughtful, kind, and fun. Alex grew up in Kansas City, and Kim just moved here last week to be with him! Since Kansas City is their new home together, we decided a session that incorporated some Kansas City themes was appropriate. We started at the Plaza, where they live, and ended up at Liberty Memorial for some Kansas City skyline views! Here are a few of my favorites from their session.

Alex spent a lot of time driving back and forth in his Range Rover while they were dating to see Kim. Since it’s such a part of their story, we had to take some photos with it!
