Hello, Bunky15420!
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I see that you are missing Photos from your "Favorites" on the left side of your Finder window. I know how important it is to be able to put items there so you can access them quickly. I would be happy to help you get them back!
From the document OS X Yosemite: Customize the Finder toolbar and sidebar :
This will help you customize the Finder's sidebar to your personal preferences (especially the "Add an app" item).
Happy Holidays!

From the document OS X Yosemite: Customize the Finder toolbar and sidebar :
Customize the sidebar
Hide or show the sidebar: Choose View > Hide Sidebar or View > Show Sidebar. (If Show Sidebar is dimmed, choose View > Show Toolbar.)
Resize the sidebar: Drag the right side of the divider bar to the right or left.
Change what’s in the sidebar: Choose Finder > Preferences, click Sidebar, then select or deselect items.
Rearrange items in the sidebar: Drag an item to a new location. You can’t rearrange items in the Shared section.
Add a file, folder, or disk: Hold down the Command (⌘) key, then drag the item to the Favorites section.
If you don’t see the Favorites section, go to Finder > Preferences > Sidebar, then select at least one item in the section.
Add an app: Hold down the Command (⌘) key, then drag its icon to the Favorites section.
Remove an item: Drag the item icon out of the sidebar until you see a gray remove sign (x).
This will help you customize the Finder's sidebar to your personal preferences (especially the "Add an app" item).
Happy Holidays!
