A Hometown story, brought full circle
From WHAV to The Haverhill Studio — a hometown story of legacy, laughter, and creativity.
When Emmy-winning host Tom Bergeron returned to Haverhill, he stepped in front of the lens at The Haverhill Studio — the same space where stories like yours are told every day.
Whether you’re a brand, creator, or professional — let’s create imagery that reflects who you are and where you’re headed.

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.
