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.

Pretty photos coming your way… I promise!

I know I’ve been a little absent this week from the blog… hold on to your hats, a bunch of fun posts are coming your way after this weekend’s awesome sessions! :)

In the meantime, I want to share with you some of my favorite wedding-related ideas from other sites. If you’re planning a wedding (which I know a lot of you are!!), finding ideas and inspiration online is an awesome way to discover what you want your own wedding to “feel” like! Check out some of these fun recent posts that I’ve enjoyed:

Real wedding featured on snippet & ink: I love the color scheme in this one, and the unique details in the bride’s attire! :)

A wedding timeline/schedule from The Wedding Chicks: This might help some of you who love to plan-plan-plan (like me)! Of course, I always help my clients come up with a realistic time frame for photos… and I hardly ever take as long as this says, but it gives you great things to think about when it comes to timing out your big day! It has templates for seeing each other before the ceremony or a more traditional wedding day schedule.

Birdcage veils from Unveiled Bridal Designs: I love this gallery of “Spotlight Brides” that gives photos of real brides who wore a variety of birdcage veils (which I love!).

Lovebird cake topper from Etsy: These are just so cute and simple and different!

Do you have fun wedding-related things you’ve found recently? I love all things wedding… so feel free to share what you’re most excited about! :) I love knowing all sorts of great details about your day before it arrives!
