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.

Lilian: 6 months old!

Lilian is adorable. She has the biggest blue eyes, is quick to smile, and was perfect through our whole shoot (although maybe a little sleepy). She also has the kindest parents in the world — we met when they helped Jeff and I last year in the middle of an ice storm when we were...

Kansas City Newborn Photographer: Blake’s Newborn Session

I finally got to meet little Blake… I had to wait a whole 20 days or something. He is so sweet and did so well during his newborn session at home. Like I’ve mentioned before, doing baby photos at home is awesome because not only are we close by changes of clothes/diapers/etc., but we also...

Tucker’s One-Year Session: Kansas City Baby Photographer

Getting to see babies grow up throughout their first year is one of my favorite things. This morning, we ended 2009 with Tucker’s one-year session at his home. Doing portrait shoots at my clients’ homes is also one of my favorite things — it’s so relaxed, natural, and great for small kids! Tucker has grown...

Not one, but two! Twin boys!

My cousins had baby boys a few months ago — yes, plural! We welcomed another set of twins into my extended family. Jonah and Silas are the sweetest little baby boys, and I got to meet them at Christmas. Of course, I couldn’t help but snap a few photos of them while we were all...

Baby Lucy at Christmas: Kansas City Baby Photography

I got to visit the cutest little 5-month-old baby yesterday, just in time for Christmas. Lucy is growing up so fast, and is a little tiny version of her mom. Seriously, you could pick them out of a crowd. So cute. I snapped some photos of her while we were playing yesterday. Here they are!...

Kansas City Family Photos (Crossroads District)

‘Tis the season for family portraits! Our portrait season is really winding down for the year, but not before a marathon portrait weekend! I had the chance to meet up with this adorable family, and when Jennifer (the mom) said she wanted something urban, I said “YES!” We decided on the Crossroads district, and I...

Troy Turns One Year Old (Kansas City Baby Photography)

I can’t believe little Troy is almost one year old already — he’ll celebrate this weekend on his actual birthday, but we celebrated with his one year portrait session last weekend! It’s so much fun to watch babies grow up and get so big and develop cute little personalities over the first year! We met...
