My name is Ada Pipkins
let's get to know each other
I'm a sports, event, and portrait photographer specializing in sports and senior photos. I am located in Saint Louis, Missouri but would love to travel more for photography!
I am currently a sophomore getting my bachelor's degree in Nursing with a minor in Criminology. I have experience in NCAA, MiLB, and youth sports. You can stay updated with my current work through my website or my Instagram (@adapipkinsphotography).

Life is all about people, moments & emotions that we want to hold on to..
I started Pipkins Photography in hopes to continue my passion for photography. Because of my clients, I am able to continue to do what I love in my free time and a hobby that will stay with me for a lifetime.
While I love photographing clients, I also love documenting my own life. I am always looking for something new, whether it be a new photo location, new ideas, or new sessions. I'd like to consider myself an "everything photographer."
