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.

Tucker’s One-Year Session: Kansas City Baby Photographer

Getting to see babies grow up throughout their first year is one of my favorite things. This morning, we ended 2009 with Tucker’s one-year session at his home. Doing portrait shoots at my clients’ homes is also one of my favorite things — it’s so relaxed, natural, and great for small kids! Tucker has grown so much over the past year, and I have to admit that I’m sad I won’t get to see him every few months now. :)

Here are some of my favorites from the shoot!
