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.

Engagement in Kansas City’s River Market Area: Sarah and Paul

When Sarah first e-mailed me about her wedding photography after finding me in an online search and asked if I went to HOBY, I knew we were going to get along. Sarah attended the same youth leadership seminar that I still volunteer with (and how I met Jeff) — which is an awesome thing to...

Kansas City Engagement Photos: Jessica and Bob

It’s funny how life brings people together… even if they knew each other all along. Jessica and Bob grew up in the same hometown and say they have “known each other forever.” But they weren’t high school sweethearts. In fact, they didn’t start dating until they had both left home, finished college, and both ended...
