welcome to the ericamay blog!

Hi! I'm Erica May Short, and I'm so excited that you're visiting my photography blog. This blog will show you all of 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 love stories. My photography style is a fun and relaxed documentary style, and I focus more on emotions than posed stuff. :) Besides photography, I love my husband (Jeff), our miniature schnauzer (Petey), and the color green. You can visit my main portfolio website at www.ericamay.com!

Kansas City Portraits: Bree and Brian, Columbus Park

When she’s 75… she’ll love these.

My best friend’s birthday was Saturday. Since it’s my job to capture the lives of people around me, I talked her into letting me take her portraits on her birthday… one day during a time in her life that she’ll love looking back on when we’re older, and everything is different, and we’re still best...

Merry Christmas: A Video Christmas Card!

Merry Christmas!
We wanted to come up with a fun way to wish you all a very Merry Christmas, so we put together this silly little video (using Jeff’s new videography equipment, of course!) of us decorating our house and doing the things we do at Christmas time. You’ll even see a little drive...
