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.

Jenny and Cameron on the Banks of a Kansas River

Sandy shores in Kansas. Who knew? Jenny and Cameron knew… and they picked a river in Derby, Kansas, for their engagement session. She’s originally a California girl, who needed a little sand in her engagement session. This California girl turned into “the girl next door” (or was it across the street?) from Cameron. Cameron’s a...
