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.

Lucy’s One Year Session!

I had so much fun taking Lucy’s one year old photos — we spent time playing with her favorite toys, playing outside with pinwheels, and since it was so hot — playing in the water! She loved sitting in a tub in her yard and playing with the hose. It was quite possibly the cutest thing I’ve ever watched. :) Lucy is so, so adorable and I can’t believe she’s already a year old!

This is how Lucy plays peek-a-boo… instead of covering her eyes, she covers her ears!

Lucy also wore the dress that her mom, aunt, and cousin have all worn for their one-year-old photos.

Then we headed outside for some fun in the water… and Lucy wore the most adorable little swim suit!
