A Hometown story, brought full circle

Hometown Headshots: A Legacy in Focus

Tom Bergeron — a father, husband, and proud Haverhill native — began his career in 1972 at WHAV Radio. Decades later, his voice and humor have reached millions through Hollywood Squares, America’s Funniest Home Videos, and Dancing with the Stars.

This fall, Tom returned home to where it all began — stepping inside The Haverhill Studio for a special portrait series that pays tribute to his roots and celebrates the creative spirit of his hometown.

The session, photographed by Kelly Giordano Photography and filmed by Berto Media, captures more than portraits — it tells a story of legacy, presence, and the enduring power of community creativity.
