Portraits of Gerry & Keith

2009-05-06T12:12:00.000-07:00

Gerry and Keith were fun to photograph. After this session I can tell that their wedding is going to be a lot of fun to be part of. Here are some of my favorites

My Nephews

2009-04-28T10:55:00.000-07:00

I haven't photographed my nephews in a while. This was fun to see how especially Sammy, the youngest one, is reacting now. Last time I photographed him he was very young and not that mobile, now that his is walking and starting to talk it was fun to see him reacting, he loved the tickler that I was using. Alex, my oldest nephew was the charming fun kid that he always is. Both of them really liked a rocking chair that I some times use for a prop. Although,I did photograph both kids, but I mainly focused on Sammy since we haven't photographed him in a while, so that is why I have not only my favorites of both kids, but also a collage of just Sammy.

Noce Family Portrait

2009-04-27T13:40:00.000-07:00

I shot the Noce family on Sunday, April 26, it was a gorgeous day. I photographed Christina and Matt's wedding last year, they haven't even celebrated their one year anniversary yet, and they decided to take advantage of their Lifetime Membership to our Rewards Program, which gives them free photo sessions.The entire family were great sports while I set them up, especially since we went to the beach for this shoot and being a hot 80 degree day and everyone had the idea to go to the beach, I tried my best not to catch anyone guys in their speedo's in the background. =o)

Portraits of Matt and Allie

2009-04-24T10:27:00.001-07:00

On Wednesday during the good part of the day, Allie and Matt had their engagement session. It was a fun time, especially since Allie and my wife Lisa are friends and Lisa and Frankie came along for the shoot. I think Allie had more fun playing with Frankie then anything else.

Well here are some of my favorites...

Babies are always good news!

2009-04-21T09:00:00.000-07:00

These are friends of the family, and I asked them if they would like to have their family portrait taken. This is their first and they are doing something that would drive me insane, they are waiting until the birth to find out if it's a boy or a girl.
So far they have pleasantly nicknamed the little one baby Mojo.
Can't wait to meet the little one.

April Wedding

2009-04-20T12:31:00.000-07:00

Just finished working on a wedding I shot this weekend.
It was fun, and we really lucked out with 70 degree weather. It was such a
gorgeous day.
Well here are some of my favorites let me know what you guys think.

A lot has been happening...

2009-04-16T08:47:00.000-07:00

Well, it has been quite some time since I have posted anything. It has been very busy at the studio. I have been doing some wedding shows and working with videographers in the area. Fornero Photography is expanding and I have been working on a new website that I hope to be ready by the end of the month. Also, we have shot a commercial, which also should be done at the end of the month.
I have also have been shooting weddings and Frankie has been getting bigger and bigger.He is now Crawling and should be walking fairly soon.
Here are some photos from my most recent wedding and also a collage of Frankie.

Wedding Winter Special !

2009-01-08T09:46:00.000-08:00

We are going to be running a special to all brides from now until April 1st, and it's not a joke!

Also, we will be participating in the Sheraton Ferncroft Bridal Show on February 8. We will keep you posted on location and times as it gets closer.

Here is a sneak peek at the Winter Special that we are running...

Winter and Hockey

2008-12-17T13:21:00.000-08:00

I had the pleasure recently of photographing Salem State College's 3rd annual Hockey Jamboree. There were 7 games with 14 high schools from the northshore playing scrimmage games. I have to be honest, hockey is one of my least favorite sports, I know that specially in New England there are a lot of Bruins fans, but when you pay money to be cold, and watch people on ice... it just doesn't make since to me. =o)

But, Hockey does have it's saving grace, it's one sport that you have to have a lot of talent to be good at it. Speaking from a person, that has never been on ice, other than on his butt during the occasional slip and fall, I have a lot of respect for the men and women that decide to pick up a stick and go out there and give it their all, on a pair of razor sharp skates, while moving at great speeds...

The one thing I can say from this event is that every single one of those boys playing put their heart and souls, even though it was an exhibition game.

Here are a few of my favorites:

Merry Christmas

2008-12-17T12:54:00.000-08:00

Well, my wife Lisa finally sent our Christmas cards so I got the ok to place Frankie up here. This past month has been a busy one, with all the families ordering Christmas cards and last minute wedding gifts, it has been nuts... =o)

I hope everyone has a great Christmas and a very happy New Year!

I know, I know...

2008-11-22T16:16:00.001-08:00

It has been a while since I put something up, but I have been very busy. We are just finishing up our Christmas rush, and I haven't had a lot of time to play around.

I promise that I will get something up soon...

I just finished placing an order for my families Christmas cards and my wife, Lisa, has told me to wait until she sends out our cards before I can post it on the blog, so... I have to be a good husband and wait... but like I said I will get something up soon, hopefully by the end of the week.

My Little Pumpkin !

2008-10-30T08:35:00.001-07:00

Well as you can see this is Frankie (my son). He just turned 3 months yesterday so my wife and I decided to shoot him in his Halloween costume and another outfit.
It was awesome... we are so lucky to have such a happy and healthy baby... oh and did I mention that he is sleeping through the night!
Well, since Halloween is tomorrow I thought I would post these... I will be posting more photos from that session soon.

Hope you all enjoy !

and HAPPY HALLOWEEN !!!

The Eyes have it...

2008-10-23T19:00:00.001-07:00

Well it's about 10pm right now and I'm just finishing up for the day. I just photographed Lindsey for her senior portraits today and was amazed at how beautifully Lindsey's eyes popped in the right lighting. We first started in my studio and headed out to Stage Fort Park... it was 47 degrees and there was apparently a cross-country race happening, but we endured and got some amazing photos by the cannons and Crescent Beach. Here are my favorites a little done up.

Aiello Wedding

2008-10-21T19:18:00.000-07:00

A couple of my favorite photos from the last wedding I did.I love the one where Marty (the groom) just lifted Jill (the bride) up it was completely unexpected and I was lucky to photograph it. The Last photo of the bride's father singing, was him serenading his daughter...

Kesterson Family Shoot...

2008-10-21T19:09:00.001-07:00

This was another shoot from this weekend, My sister-in-law wanted to have some new photos of her and her family. We were going to shoot at Stage Fort Park but since it was freezing this weekend we decided to shoot in the studio, and man was it fun... The personality of these two boys, makes me envious of their childhood, all they do is laugh and smile, it wasn't hard to photograph them.

Holden Timulty

2008-10-21T19:02:00.000-07:00

This is actually Holden's second shoot with us... His first shoot was when his mother come in for some maternity shots. =o) I've never seen a baby with such beautiful blond hair before... he was so cute with the Converse outfit that my wife decided to dress our son Frankie up in his Converse outfit and have his first photo done with his future best friend...also props to dad for the superman outfit... I can't wait to have Holden back in the studio.

Aberle Family Session

2008-10-21T18:32:00.001-07:00

So this past weekend was very busy for me... but the families that I photographed were great. This was on Friday, and these are my favorites... we started out at Good Harbor Beach but when Braydon was more interested on the sand instead of everything else... so we moved it to Stage Fort Park...

Cahoon/Currier Wedding

2008-10-13T10:42:00.001-07:00

Just photographed this wedding on Friday 10/10/08. The photos are up on the website for friends and family to view.These so far, are some of my favorites.

Fall Sports_GHS FOOTBALL

2008-10-10T09:38:00.001-07:00

This past weekend was just as busy as this up coming weekend will be for me.
I did, however, get a chance to go out and photograph our local high school football team and cheerleaders.
What a fun, fast, interesting game. GHS Football went all out and proved why they are still undefeated, and of course the Lady fisherman where just as interesting to watch as the game was with their half time show.

Photos from this game are located at ForneroSports.com or just click the link on the right.

Maternity Sessions

2008-10-10T09:04:00.000-07:00

These are good friends and clients, Kat and John. They were great sports! The session was originally scheduled for 5pm but due to some issues we had to postpone until 10pm.
Kat was about 39 to 40 weeks along when we got this done so Holden was coming any minute! We really wanted to get some maternity shots, before Holden made his appearance. Holden was born about a week or two later and I am happy to say he is coming in soon to get his "second" set of photos done.

Trash The Dress

2008-09-19T06:50:00.001-07:00

I am very excited to share the recent Trash the Dress photos I have taken. I am working on an entire series of photos for this theme. Past brides come in with their wedding dresses and I photograph them in some fun poses. Check these out!

I'd love to get som e feedback on this shoot. It took place in Misselwood and in Tupper Manor at Endicott College in Beverly Farms, MA.

2008-09-14T07:32:00.000-07:00

Boy is he growing. Today is his Christening and we had a pre-shoot yesterday just for fun. there will be photos of his christening in the next couple of days. In the meantime, check these out.

Dog days of Summer...

2008-09-03T13:32:00.001-07:00

I hate this part... nights are starting to get colder and the days shorter.
I have been busy with weddings this summer hence the lack of photos on here. Here is a recent wedding. This wedding took place on a Schooner the Thomas E. Lannon to be precise. As some of you might know I get motion sickness... yea I know why would you take a wedding on a boat, well the couple were awesome to work with and the money was there =o), I have a little one to think about now and formula is expensive.

Well take a look and let me know what you guys think.

My Son !

2008-08-07T10:59:00.000-07:00

The richness of our lives shall be yours. All that I have, all that I've learned, everything I feel... all this, and more, I... I bequeath you, my son. You will carry me inside you, all the days of your life. You will make my strength your own, and see my life through your eyes, as your life will be seen through mine.
The son becomes the father, and the father the son.

Fun in the Sun!

2008-07-13T12:21:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I photographed a very sweet and lovely young woman. We had a great time going around Gloucester,MA and using some of the local places as backdrops. I've been living in Gloucester now for close to 8 years and it still surprises me every time how beautiful this place is.

2008-07-13T12:11:00.001-07:00

3 Weeks and Counting!

2008-07-11T14:13:00.001-07:00

As some of you may know, my wife and I are expecting a little one, and after much planning and waiting we were able to get some Maternity shots done last night. It feels very surreal knowing that there is a living thing inside her. Yet he made his presence known a couple of times when I saw Lisa's stomach move when I was photographing her.

Frankie's bedroom is all set up, now if he could hurry up and get here it would make things easier... =O)

Thank Heavens For Little Girls....

2008-06-05T14:46:00.000-07:00

This little girl was fun to photograph, for the first 10 minutes she wouldn't leave her mother's side. but once we gave her some flowers to play with it became a different story... for 5 minutes... until she got tired of the flowers.

Keeping Busy...

2008-06-03T07:27:00.001-07:00

Between Photographing, Working a second job, getting my Citizenship, first baby on the way. Things have been busy. but really can't complain about being busy.

Keeping Busy...

2008-06-03T07:13:00.000-07:00

2008-05-13T16:37:00.001-07:00

2008-04-29T13:59:00.001-07:00

So, I've been sick and working non-stop. Today I was in the studio and after 4 hours in front of my laptop I decided to do something fun. So I painted this image. Let me know what you guys think.

March Madness ! Continued...

2008-03-05T11:39:00.001-08:00

March Madness !

2008-03-05T11:32:00.001-08:00

You think that March Madness has anything to do with Basketball? I had the pleasure of photographing Liz's wedding this past weekend, and I have to say it was very enjoyable.
I really loved the fact that since Liz is a photographer herself we just clicked with everything we were trying to do. Erik (her husband) was a great sport, especially when we were at the DCU center and had a crowd of people looking at us as we took photos. Well here are some of those, let me know what you think.

Been Busy

2008-02-22T07:11:00.000-08:00

Well it has been a REALLY long time since I put anything up, but my company has been keeping me busy. Mostly been shooting sports. So here are some of the stuff that I have been doing. Because of NCAA rules most of the winter sports photography that I do you can't use a flash and in some cases you are not allowed to use flash, like when shooting Gymnastics. This is why I became a Cannon user. Anyways, would love some comments.

Flanagan/Calkin Wedding 2.0

2007-10-10T12:14:00.000-07:00

Flanagan/Calkin Wedding

2007-10-10T12:06:00.001-07:00

This is the most recent wedding I have done. I had an awesome time photographing Keely and Matt. The nicest people you will meet. The only annoying part was trying to find parking in Boston on a Saturday night. Thankfully my car wasn't towed.
There is a couple more images from this wedding I'm going to be putting up soon.

Trash the Dress

2007-10-01T11:24:00.000-07:00

I can't take credit for the idea, but it was one of the most fun shoots i have had in a while. Liz, was the one behind all this and I hope I made her look good in the process.
Here are some of the photos from the shoot, there will be more coming.

Two Boats and A Tree

2007-08-26T08:25:00.000-07:00

Whenever I get board I usually go out and shoot. I'm not a big fan of boats... which is really ironic since I live in one of the biggest fishing towns in the U.S. Let's just say I don't have sea legs unless I'm on a patch. But once a year there is a schooner festival here in gloucester, and this sail boat is one of the biggest attractions. Behind the boat you can see Ten Pound Island.

This one is an oldie. a long time ago... I went to Vermont. The funny thing is that I was driving on a road for a while and all of a sudden when I looked at the sign it was in Kilometers... When I realized that it was the second time I broke International Laws I decided to turn around and stay in Vermont.

And lastly, I was in Ipswich with my wife lisa, she was just showing me around the area and I saw this boat in the back yard of someone's house. I just loved the scenery and wondered what it would be like to wake up and see this every day.

Scenics

2007-08-25T18:40:00.000-07:00

Well This is how I started. I would have an assignment from my high school photo teacher and just go out for hours photographing everything. Hope you enjoy some Gloucester photos.
