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.

Fun with flashlights

This is so far from what I usually do, but I thought it would be fun to post — it’s always good to try out new things in photography and see what happens!

While I was visiting my family over the 4th of July holiday, they humored me for some fun shots outside in the dark with the lights they were using to see their fireworks. :) Instead of posting fireworks photos here, which I feel like everyone has already seen in other places, I decided to post a few fun photos we took with my lovely volunteers holding their flashlights towards the camera. :)

The first model is my cousin Rachel, and the second is my brother Jacob!
