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.

Before the wedding ceremony, Erin’s mom came up to me and said that Erin was really excited to have us photograph her wedding. We go back quite a few years as volunteers with HOBY. Her mom went on to say, “Erin had her photographer picked out before she knew who’d she be standing up there...

Kansas Barn Wedding: Lindsey and Toby

Lindsey and Toby got married in Baldwin City, Kansas, in the church where Lindsey grew up — she was baptized there, learned to play the piano there, was in the youth group there, and then got married there! I love when weddings are personal. Their reception venue was also just a few miles from Lindsey’s...
