  • Capturing Life as Intended

    Thank you SO much for stopping by!!! In the fall of 2007, we moved to Connecticut from Minnesota and created Galleria Vivid. I set out to shoot all on location, all amazing color, and all on my own. None of these things had I done before. With allot of GREAT mentors and fearlessness, I feel that I have overwhelmingly exceeded my visions, and Galleria Vivid is quite Vivid. Photography has been an amazing blessing in my life, it allows me to be an artist, to never stop learning, and of course stay up until four in the morning working on fun projects such as a brand new blog! When it comes down to it, I don't have to go to all this work, but I just can't help myself!!! I must create!!!! I also have a wonderful support system, my husband Greg, who is my best friend, is the most supportive person I've ever known. Of course, my baby boy Brevinn, who is the sweetest!!!! And ALL of our extended family and friends who have been my cheerleaders!!! Thank you ALL!!! Lastly and most importantly, I thank God, who has given me everything this life can offer. Please enjoy my images, and feel free to leave any comments, good or bad....I can take it!!! Ciao, Missy

NYC WEEKEND!!!





this image was taken at 3am when we were waiting for the path train back to Jersey…
I call it – “Art is happening right now”
….because we were sitting there completely exhausted and restless because many of us needed to use the restroom for sometime now…. and I know that many times when I vacation I feel that I don’t have the time to see the best angle because we are always on the go but when you get a moment to just look around you art is happening!!!







Greg and I went to the city to visit our friends Becky and Mark for an adventure!!!! Becky actually lived in NYC for a year (now she lives in Mankato, MN – where we just moved from) when she interned at Fox News so she was our tour guide, and she had allot of exciting plans for us each day!!! Many of these photographs Greg and Becky helped me with also!!!

BABY TIME




These photographs were taken with our webcam from our mac program Photo Booth, It’s such a fun program!!! I’m so looking forward to a pregnancy session we will be doing in Summer!!! 

We are having a Baby and we are 10 weeks along!! I am definitely feeling allot bigger than I should but have found out that that can be normal!!! We are really looking forward to our next doctors appointment, which is in a week and a half!! So exciting!!! I can’t wait because we get to hear the heartbeat!! We have some great names picked out already, they could change I am fully aware but we are pretty set on them Sienna Rose or Broderick James!!! I know some people don’t like to talk about it, but I don’t care I’m just so excited!!
