The seven photographs you'll regret

A free guide to the seven photos every family should have. And almost no one does.

You already know it's going fast.

You felt it the last time your kid needed help with something and then didn't anymore.

You felt it at the family dinner where you looked around the table and thought, "when did everyone get so old?"

You don't need a reminder that time moves fast.

You just need someone to tell you which photos to take before it does.

That's what this guide is for.

Hey there

My name is Andria and I'm the owner of Andria May Photography in Gilbert, Arizona.

Before photography became my business, I was already the mom who wanted to remember everything. I took over 1,000 photos of my oldest in his first month alone, all on a little point-and-shoot camera.

Lately, that has been hitting me a little harder.

I was sitting at my second son’s last “first soccer match” of high school and got emotional thinking about how quickly we got here. My oldest is away at college sending me photos from his swim team media day. My daughter just started high school. And my youngest is still right in the middle of childhood, where Hot Wheels and Minecraft can fill an entire afternoon.

They’re all in such different seasons, and somehow they all seem to be changing at once.

Most days, I’m homeschooling, sitting on a sideline, driving someone somewhere, heading to a performance, or just trying to soak it all in.

Because the truth is, it goes fast.

And that’s a big part of why I care so much about photographs. Not perfect moments. Real ones. The expressions, personalities, relationships, and little things you think you’ll always remember.

I want families to have those memories somewhere they can actually see them. On their walls. In albums their kids can pull off the shelf. In their homes, as part of their everyday life.

Because one day, the season you’re in right now won’t feel so ordinary anymore.
