About Colleen …
Colleen Miniuk is a corporate-America escapee turned full-time freelance outdoor photographer, author, educator and motivational speaker from Chandler, Arizona. Through her work she aims to inspire adventures in the great outdoors and to encourage others to live their most fulfilling life—the big Life with a capital L—with or without a camera in hand.
Colleen’s work has graced the pages of publications such as National Geographic, Arizona Highways, AAA Via, On Landscape, National Parks Traveler and a broad variety of other outlets. She has penned several award-winning books, including Wild in Arizona: Photographing Arizona’s Wildflowers; The Current Flows: Water in the Arid West and Photographing Acadia National Park: The Essential Guide to When, Where, and How (after serving thrice as Acadia’s artist-in-residence). Her first adventure travel memoir, So Said the River: Life, Loss, and Pie on the Colorado, was published in July 2024. She also writes an online photography advice column title “Dear Bubbles.”
Collen leads photography workshops (including all-women sessions, called Sheography), teaches classes and offers one-on-one mentoring.
