Hi, I’m Colleen

“photograph by Glorianna Picini Photography LLC”

The lifestyle photographer behind Moments Wandered Photography. I am based in Northern Virginia, working with clients to capture honest, meaningful moments. I started this journey because I believe the most beautiful photos aren’t perfectly staged, they’re the ones that feel like a memory.

I fell in love with documenting the story rather than curating it. I’m drawn to the quiet confidence, the genuine laughter, and the "in-between" moments that showcase who you really are. My sessions feel more like a hangout than a formal photoshoot. To keep things easy, I provide guidance and prompts throughout our time together, helping you naturally flow into interactions so nothing ever feels forced or stiff. We’ll laugh and explore while I catch the genuine energy that makes your story unique.

When I’m not behind the camera, you can usually find me drinking coffee or boba, thrifting, or crocheting. My home is a happy chaotic mix of three dogs, a cat, and two snakes, usually all snuggling with me while I rewatch Avatar: The Last Airbender.

My goal is to provide a fun, comfortable experience where you feel seen and confident. If you’re ready for photos that feel genuine and true to you, I’d love to connect!
