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.

Moments like this…

…are why I LOVE my job.

When I was editing the images from Sarah and Brett’s wedding, I came across another image that just made me smile. I love everything about this — the expressions on their face, the backlighting from the windows, and their friends in the background.

A moment that can last just a second in real life can be preserved forever in a photograph. Their expressions and the way they lean into each other says so much about their wedding day and their relationship. All in one frame.

Have I mentioned lately that I love what I get to do? Because I do. Thanks for letting me be a part of these moments.
