Hello and welcome to Five Ever Imagery! I’m Amanda Pipkin, photographer, storyteller, and your personal hype girl behind the camera. I’ve been capturing love, laughter, and all the beautiful in-between moments since 2008. What started as a kid with a disposable camera and a passion for freezing memories turned into a full-blown business when I began offering free senior portraits to teens who couldn’t afford them. From there, my heart and my portfolio just kept growing.

Formerly AMSears Photography, I rebranded in 2018 after marrying the love of my life, Alex. That’s also when the name Five Ever Imagery was born, a little inside joke from our relationship. You know the phrase, “I love you forever”? We say, “I love you five-ever.” It became our thing and eventually, it became the heart of this business. This isn’t just about photos. It’s about love, connection, and the kind of moments you want to hold onto for a lifetime.

In August 2021, I took the leap and made photography my full-time job. Today, I specialize in weddings, engagements, families, and senior portraits. More than anything, I focus on telling your story with honesty and heart.

When you book with me, there's a good chance you'll meet Alex too. He's often by my side as a second photographer and behind-the-scenes problem solver. We're building this dream together, one couple, one story, one beautiful session at a time. When we’re not photographing incredible people, we’re probably watching Marvel movies, making spontaneous road trip plans, or rewatching our favorite Disney classics with our 15-pound Pomeranian mix, Toby.

My photography style is genuine over posed, storytelling over stiffness. Whether it’s a wild toddler leading the way in a family session or a fleeting glance on your wedding day, I aim to capture the emotion, energy, and heart of it all. People often describe my work as meaningful and enduring, images that take you back to how it felt, not just how it looked.

And one more thing you should know: we are a 100% inclusive business. LGBTQ+ couples and families are always welcome here, celebrated fully, and photographed with the same love and care as every client who trusts me to tell their story.

Capturing love stories with heart, artistry, and a little bit of glitter.

Your emotional storyteller, detail-catcher, and personal hype woman with a camera and a soft spot for golden light.
