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.

Overland Park Family Photos!

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I love photographing families in their homes! It’s the best way to really help tell a story about a family, when the backdrop isn’t something fake or bland, but their own home, with their furnishings, decorations, and the rooms they bond in every day. I got...

Family portraits for some of my very first clients!

You might remember my post at the end of last week where I talked about how thankful I am for the people at the beginning who gave me a chance and let me take their photographs when I was brand new, didn’t know a whole lot, and wasn’t really sure if this photography thing would...
