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.

We need a fun bridal model!

Every once in a while, we do concept shoots just to keep our creative juices flowing and try out ideas that we wouldn’t normally get to do on a wedding day when the schedule is already packed full of awesome stuff! I’m planning another fun shoot with a few photographers and models… I just need a really sweet model!

The model(s) have to be available on the morning of Monday, June 7th — probably beginning around 9 a.m. or so.

Here’s what the shoot is styled around:

1. Romance

2. Drama

3. Classic vintage styles

Here’s who I’m looking for:

1. A bridal model or a bride/groom couple

2. Someone with a vintage or classic-style wedding dress

3. A bride with some cool details in mind (veil, shoes, jewelry)

Here’s how to submit yourself to model:

1. Send an email to me[at]ericamay[dot]com or through  http://ericamay.com/#/contact/

2. Tell me a little bit about yourself

3. Attach a photo of you in your wedding dress

4. Make sure you’re available on the morning of Monday, June 7th, in Kansas City

We can’t wait to find out who our next model will be! Send in your submissions as soon as possible, so we can get started on the planning! :)

And, just for fun, here are a few from our last concept shoot in the West Bottoms:
