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.

We were fortunate enough to schedule this Operation: Love Reunited session while their soldier (husband/dad) was home on leave from his deployment. I loved being able to take photos of the entire family all together! Add in some adorable children (including the cutest boy and girl twins ever!) and some fun around their family home,...

Operation: Love Reunited Session in Kansas City

Operation: Love Reunited is a group of volunteer photographers who provide photo sessions for families of deployed service men and women. I love having the chance to photograph families for OpLove — and it’s even better when it’s a surprise to the deployed soldier. I met up with this adorable family at the park for...
