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.

Lawrence Kansas Senior Photos: Hayleigh

Hayleigh is an incredible high school senior who I’ve had the privilege of getting to know through HOBY, the youth leadership organization Jeff and I volunteer with. Hayleigh is one of those high school seniors who you know is going to do big things in life. I was so excited when she asked me to take her senior photos. She’ll be attending KU in the fall, and wanted her senior photos taken on campus there, so we met in Lawrence for a fun session on a cloudy, sprinkling day. Luckily, we beat the rain.

Here are a few of my favorites of the lovely Hayleigh.
