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.

Troy Turns One Year Old (Kansas City Baby Photography)

I can’t believe little Troy is almost one year old already — he’ll celebrate this weekend on his actual birthday, but we celebrated with his one year portrait session last weekend! It’s so much fun to watch babies grow up and get so big and develop cute little personalities over the first year!

We met up at Union Station in downtown Kansas City for our session, since we weren’t sure if we’d be able to take any outdoor photos with weather in this area being as unpredictable as it is. :) We got the best of both worlds, though — inside and out! :) Here are some of my favorites from Troy’s session.

I love the look on his face, and the shadow of Troy’s parents’ legs in the background. I think it exemplifies everything about babies at this stage. :)

He has the prettiest blue eyes! He’s holding his dad’s hands here… so cute.

Definitely one of the cutest families:
