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.

Senior Photos: Jacob (My Little Brother!)

I’ve been looking forward to taking my little brother’s senior photos for a while now. :) He’s a great sport to let his older sister take his photos, and for the whole family to go along and watch. Poor guy. But he’s a champ. It’s hard to believe that he’s a senior. I keep saying that over and over, but it’s true. He’s quite a bit younger than me, but we’ve always had a special relationship. He has made me so, so proud always, but especially in the past few years. He has lots of talent, a great sense of humor, and doesn’t let little things get him down. He’s wise beyond his years. He sees the big picture. He laughs at silly jokes, and is the perpetual entertainer. He’s my little brother, and a handsome one at that. :)

Here are just a few of my favorites. I picked the ones where he looks the most like how I want to remember him at this stage.
