She built a business from the ground up, hires local, mentors the next generation and still makes it to the game on Friday night. She is changing Gilbert, and she is rarely the one in the spotlight.

Andria May Photography is accepting nominations for Women of Impact, a national portrait and storytelling initiative that honors women whose leadership and service make a difference in their communities. As the participating photographer for Gilbert and the East Valley, owner Andria Meixner will photograph and interview local honorees, whose portraits and stories will appear in the 2027 Women of Impact national publication, released Mother's Day week.

Know a business owner, volunteer, mentor or mom who deserves to be seen? Nominate her by November 30, 2026 at woi.andriamay.com.

Andria May Photography has served Gilbert families since 2009. Earlier this year, Andria partnered with Dogtopia of Gilbert, Renewed Strength Chiropractic, Sidewinder Subs, Colair Beauty and City Vet Queen Creek on Pooch Playoffs, a bracket-style dog portrait fundraiser that drew 4,000 votes and raised $2,300 for the Dogtopia Foundation.
