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.

It’s a good thing I don’t take myself too seriously…

Or I wouldn’t share these photos with you of us shooting. :)

I came across a little collection of photos of us shooting at a wedding or two this fall. And I thought it might be fun to share them with you! So, here we are “in action.” 

Jeff looks cool when he shoots…

I’m not quite as cool as Jeff… :)

And sometimes I make happy faces… even if they look a little crazy, at least you know we’re having fun! I get so excited for the bride and groom to make their “grand exit” or getaway from the church… that’s what was happening here! The anticipation is just too great — seriously, you think I’m kidding, but I get pretty excited for that moment… :)

Big thanks to my friend Whitney for capturing this one of Jeff and I at Michael and Sara’s wedding.
