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.

Dresden and John’s engagement session...

And I’m so excited about the locations we found, the light the day before Spring officially began, and how...

Engagement Session on a Kansas Farm: Mattie and Rodney

In the summertime, I love Kansas. There’s something so beautiful about waving wheat and warm sun, and thunderheads moving in from the west. It’s a place where you can see forever, the horizon stretches on and on and white fluffy clouds at sunset make me super happy. Mattie and Rodney’s engagement session was the perfect...
