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.

What do we do on our day off? We take photos. :)

We took a weekend off in October around our anniversary to enjoy a few days of nothingness. :) It was a break from the usual busy, busy, busy weekends we have around here (which we love). Still, we have to recharge our batteries… literally and figuratively… so we scheduled a weekend off.

And what did we do during that no-photo time? Well, we took photos. Of each other in the backyard. I’m sure the neighbors were really entertained for a while. :) Petey sure liked it!

Here’s my super cute husband, relaxing on our back patio. I love these photos of him. I think I’ll look back at these years from now and think about how much we love our lives at this stage.

We love Petey so much. He’s probably the most spoiled dog in the world, but he’s still super sweet in spite of it. :)

It’s difficult to take a photo of yourselves with a 50mm lens. :) We attempted, though!
