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.

Meredith and Mike’s Engagement: KU campus and 1950s-themed fun!

When Meredith first told me that she wanted her engagement session to include a 1950s-themed portion, I knew we’d get along well. Meredith loves cooking, which was evident the second I stepped into their kitchen to see all sorts of cooking gadgets, spices, cookbooks, and fun utensils that I tend to “need” any time I...

Lawrence Engagement Photos: Jessie and Rick

Imagine this: two 18-year-old girls, working at a daycare center for the summer before heading off to college. It was one of the most interesting jobs ever, and one of the girls (me) had to send all of my unruly children into the other girl’s (Jessie’s) classroom for nap time. It’s a wonder she ever...

Lawrence Kansas Senior Photos: Hayleigh

Hayleigh is an incredible high school senior who I’ve had the privilege of getting to know through HOBY, the youth leadership organization Jeff and I volunteer with. Hayleigh is one of those high school seniors who you know is going to do big things in life. I was so excited when she asked me to...
