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.

18-Month Portraits at the Park!

The challenging and super fun part about photographing a child when they’re 18 months old is that to them, the world is there for exploring. Everything is interesting, new, and waiting to be discovered. So when I photograph little ones at that stage, I get to explore along with them. Which mainly means I spend...

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...

Baby Avery: 4 Months Old

Avery is one of the most wide-eyed babies I have ever photographed. She was so adorable and very intrigued by the loud clicking my shutter makes when I snapped her photos. I had the privilege of taking her portraits in her home, which I always love doing, because the surroundings are familiar for babies, it’s...
