Photography by Gennaro

Testimonials

Gennaro met us for a family shoot
that we had made clear needed to be fast and
efficient with our special needs child.
We knew our time and efforts would be limited.
Gennaro had already walked the park area and knew multiple set-ups to consider so as we visited, he gave us choices and angles to consider.
He also figured out (quickly) how best to engage with our child so she built a rapport with him quickly and responded to his cues. Even after we felt "we had our shots" Gennaro continued to smile and laugh with our daughter.
He captured far more shots than I anticipated and gave us so many beautiful images to consider.
As much as I can attest to his talent, I can also attest to his kindness.
Thank you, Gennaro, for your patience, your keen eye, and your heart!

I worked with Gennaro for my daughter's elementary school fundraiser!
He was beyond easy and pleasant to work with. He helped figure out packages that worked with the schools population and went above and beyond in every way. We did a photo shoot with him as well as many other families from the school. The positive feedback was terrific! He was wonderful with my 4 year old son and we had a blast. We got long lasting memories and I have Gennaro to thank! I would absolutely recommend him to anyone!
Thank you!

When thinking about doing a photoshoot fundraiser for my children’s school, Gennaro was a great choice!
In fact, my school is booking him again for this spring. From the initial emails and conversations that I had with Gennaro, he was warm and professional. Gennaro is a great communicator whether speaking to him on the phone, email, or postal mail, Gennaro is extremely reliable. For instance, he mailed me examples of his work to help advertise the fundraiser at my school community. Aside from his professionalism, Gennaro’s work is breathtaking. He truly captures a person’s personality throughout the shoot.
He and his team, work well together in taking both candid and posed shots. Once the proofs were ready, Gennaro always made himself available to go over the proofs with the families. Once my final portraits were delivered to me, I found myself staring at it all the time, thinking “Wow,” I’m so glad we had a photoshoot with Gennaro!
And can’t wait for the next one...

Gennaro
came to our backyard for a photography session.
I was nervous at first as our pair tend to not be the most cooperative.
However, Gennaro was able to bring out smiles and was so patient with our two wildlings. The photos he was able to capture were beautiful and he was flexible with touch ups required.
It was a great experience for the whole family with lasting memories captured in time.
Ileana C.

Gennaro and his staff were wonderful!
From the initial contact, he was prompt and courteous. We met on a warm summer morning at Verona Park and he had scouted out multiple locations for our family photo shoot.
Gennaro spent time with our children and photographed them beautifully doing their favorite activities: dance and soccer.
We got the images quickly from the photo shoot and Gennaro was clear on what images would be best for our family! He was patient with my questions and prompt with his replies! The pictures turned out beautiful and the grandparents love them!

We had a wonderful experience with Gennaro.
Professionalism at its finest! When we scheduled our session, I really
appreciated Gennaro’s flexibility in time and date so that we could plan
accordingly with the weather for our outdoor shoot.
Gennaro was always so prompt, friendly and thorough
in our communication. He responded to emails immediately,
turn around time for our proofs was very quick, and we received
our beautiful photos carefully packaged extremely fast as well.
So happy to have gotten to work with Gennaro
for a family photo shoot and to have such beautiful pictures
of this time of our lives.
Thank you Gennaro!

We had always wanted a family portrait and
didn't get one until the grand kids arrived.
We happened upon Gennaro and we couldn't be happier with his performance. He and his associate were a pleasure to deal with and their results were phenomenal!
We had multiple family portraits with our kids and grand kids and numerous other portraits with different members of the family.
Everyone was extremely happy with their portraits and we highly recommend Gennaro to fulfill your lifelong dream.
Thanks again Gennaro, salute! Dan D.

Gennaro was wonderful to work with.
We were not the easiest to schedule
as we had two families with busy kids to coordinate.
Once we had a date, he was on time and professional. He took his time with the photos and
took many shots. The results were wonderful for a cold December morning :-)
His assistant took some candid shots
from non-traditional angles and it was fun to
see those too. After the photo session, he was quick with proofs and patient with us as we made many revisions to our selections. My in-laws were thrilled
to have the portrait of their kids and grandkids.
We took the photos at Liberty State Park and the NYC backdrop was perfect!
Thanks Gennaro!
Elisa P.

It was a really nice experience!
Gennaro was very flexible and patient in shooting our family portraits
which included our new puppy! I am very happy with the portraits and
we selected a few different images to display in our home and
also to use for greeting cards. Elisabetta K.

My family's experience with Gennaro was easy and professional, from beginning to end. The pictures captured the essence of my children, due to the efforts of Gennaro and his crew. They made everyone very comfortable
which led to amazing photos we will have forever. We had our photos placed on large canvases which made cherished gifts for our children's grandparents. They absolutely loved them.
We could not recommend Gennaro more.
Lisa S.

Thank you Gennaro!

Gennaro was a pleasure to work with and he does amazing work.
He was able to capture my children’s best moments even when they weren’t being the most cooperative at times. He was always on top of communication regarding any questions we had. The entire process was a breeze and I would highly recommend Gennaro.

It was a pleasure working with Gennaro. Gennaro eagerly contacted me to set up a session. He was very flexible with the location and knew what time of day we would have the best light for photographing. He got some great shots of my family which are now displayed in my living room. Melissa C.

Gennaro was great and really captured my boys beautifully.
Thank you. Donna S.

Gennaro is great!
He is professional, patient, flexible and great with children.
The photos he took of my family turned out beautiful.
Thank you! Marnie R.

I won a free sitting fee at a fundraiser. I called and made the appointment. From the first phone call Genno was very helpful. I had to work around the family photo shoot with kids in college. He picked the location, which was a beautiful park near my house. Gennaro made us feel very comfortable taking the pictures. A couple of weeks later he met me at my house to show me all the photos. I love my pictures and now have them hanging in my new house in North Carolina.
I recommend him and will use him again. Terri R.

From start to finish, my experience with Gennaro was amazing!
The photos came out perfect! Gennaro and his colleague were both so easy and fun to work with and our photos are absolutely stunning!
Photography is so much more than a job for Gennaro. His talent & passion for photography is truly admirable! It’s so evident that he genuinely cares about each family that he works with. He has a gift for seeing things differently than everyone else and for taking the most incredible pictures! His pictures will leave you speechless and wanting more! 100% recommend Gennaro Photography! 5 stars!
Zaida C.

Gennaro generously donated his time and services
to take family portraits for 10 families living in a shelter program. Gennaro worked so well with the families in making them feel comfortable, and we are so appreciative of his generosity. The portraits turned out great and are a special memory for the families that they would not otherwise be able to afford.
Thank you Gennaro!
Emily L.

We had a very pleasant experience during our photo shoot.
Gennaro was on time, friendly, very professional and knowledgeable about the whole shoot and how the background and placement of all of us would make for the best picture. He even went out of his way when a picture we were expecting to give as a gift wasn't here close to Christmas and sent us another one at no expense. I would highly recommend him. Debbie L.

Delighted with the whole experience!
This is the second time
we used Gennaro.
He listens, takes note and provides wonderful photos.
You’d hardly know he was actually at the event.
Thanks Gennaro,
we recommend you and your team very highly and would not hesitate to use u again! Yvonne K.

Gennaro was extremely professional from start to finish to ensure that we got amazing portraits. Gennaro worked very well with our children, and we love our pictures!
Sandra B.

We had a very good experience biking our session with Gennaro.
We actually won the sitting through a local PTO fundraising raffle, and we’re excited to get or first professional family portrait done.
Gennaro was flexible about where we wanted to meet and with the day/time.
His assistant was very friendly and professional, as well, and the experience
of taking the photos was easy and fun.
Gennaro was very patient with us as we took a long time to choose our
photos. He worked with someone to edit them so that we were pleased with
the outcome, and had them delivered before the holiday.
I would definitely recommend Gennaro for your family photos.
Sara K.

The whole process was easier than expected due to the fact of Gennaro's help along the way. Any questions I had were answered above and beyond with patience and knowledge.
It was a big undertaking planning the date, choosing from the many photos and multiple layout options. Gennaro's knowledge and understanding of the process was extremely helpful and I am thrilled with the final product. Thank you.
Cecilia B.

Hi Gennaro,
We absolutely love these!
Thank you so much. It will be hard to decide which to use, they're all amazing! You really captured each of the kid's personalities. AnneMarie S.

Gennaro was a pleasure to work with.
We recently had our third session with him and I'm so happy with how our pictures came out. Booking our photo shoot was easy, and he recommended a nearby park that was absolutely picturesque for our family photos.
He was great with the kids, and captured them very naturally in all the pictures. We received our proofs quickly and our photos shipped soon after placing our order.
I would highly recommend Photography by Gennaro for your next family photo shoot! Thank you! AnneMarie S.

Great experience!
Gennaro and his colleague were kid friendly and very easy to work with. Also very accommodating with scheduling! We love our family photos! Suzanne D.

Gennaro was lovely to work with.
My girls loved him and had so much fun with their photo shoot.
The finished product is beautiful. What a great experience!
We highly recommend him!
Lisa R.

Gennaro was amazing, he was prompt and quick with taking the pictures and his work was marvelous.
He also was great with my two year old son, I will definitely have our photos taken by Gennaro again. Sarah R.

What a fabulous experience my family and I had with Gennaro!
He is so knowledgeable and has a fantastic eye.
Gennaro was really great with our three kids and getting fantastic shots of them (with everyone looking at the camera and smiling at the same time...
a tough task in and of itself!).
The hardest part of our whole experience was actually narrowing down the choices of all of the fabulous photographs Gennaro took of our family.
And even that process he made all the more easy by sitting with us and making his own recommendations and giving us ideas. I would highly recommend Gennaro to anyone interested in getting really great photographs of their family!
Randi-Lynn S.

Gennaro was an excellent photographer at our wedding. He was always prompt with arriving on time to the destination where he was shooting the pictures as well as being quick with the processing of our photos. Everything was done in a timely manner. Not only did Gennaro work well within time frames, but the quality of work he did with our proofs and album was amazing! He was dedicated to organizing everything in a way that was perfect for us.
I highly recommend him for any event as his high quality of work will make any event you are planning to photograph a memorable one!
Amanda & Anthony

We recently worked with Gennaro at our home and our experience was great all around.
Gennaro was professional and worked well with my two young children.
We appreciated his patience and creative eye in seeking great scenes outdoors.
Our family picture made a great Christmas gift to family members.
He was easily accessibly by phone or email and made sure our pictures were available in time for the holidays.
Thanks Gennaro!
Teresa M.

We were introduced to Gennaro through a charity auction benefit. He came to our home and took wonderful pictures of our family, including my two young grandsons. Gennaro managed to keep them interested in the process to get some really beautiful photos.
We were very happy with the results and have shared the photos with friends and family as well as many on display in our home and office.
Thank you Gennaro for wonderful memories!!
Stephanie H.

Our photo session with Gennaro was great!
He successfully managed three generations of our family, making everyone feel comfortable - taking all sorts of different combinations and styles of photos. He was super easy and accommodating to work with - provided all the guidance and direction that I needed ( and I needed it).
The final products are beautiful!
Clodagh F.

Gennaro is an experienced professional and a real pleasure to work with. We had never done an outside location photo shoot but always wanted to do one. Gennaro had great ideas for family poses and scenic spots.
We were impressed with the magic his team performed in touching up the prints till they were absolutely perfect. The family picture turned out so impressive that we selected a large enough size to frame it for display.
We recommend him for any family or special event photography.
Carmen C.

Gennaro's team did a photo shoot outside for our family of six.
They suggested a beautiful outdoor location that was close to our home.
The photographers were patient and made sure to capture candid and formal images of all of us individually and collectively. This led to us having too many pictures to choose from! We wound up with a beautiful family portrait (not easy for a family of 6) as well as several images of our children. Gennaro came to my house to go over the proofs; I showed him the blank wall where I wanted to put pictures of the kids and he suggested a wonderful "stair climber" layout.
Great experience all around, and we are thrilled with the pictures!
Erin D.

Gennaro is a lovely, patient and easy to work with photographer. He was very flexible with booking a slot and all the follow up meetings and was very understanding of our busy family schedule. Throughout the whole process he was accommodating and we all enjoyed working with him. Our pictures came out beautifully and I would highly recommend him to anyone considering using a professional photographer.
Tara H.

We had heard of Gennaro through our school's annual fundraiser and decided to give him a try.
Wow, are we glad we did!! The process was so easy from start to finish, from picking a date and location, to getting our pictures and answering any questions we had. He and his assistant were great at keeping our girls engaged and really brought out their genuine, happy smiles. To top it off the pictures are wonderful - more than we had hoped for! I was worried we would only find one or two we really liked, but he captured so many amazing shots we were struggling to decide what to have printed.
Thank you Gennaro for giving us such beautiful photographs of our family and girls! Sherri G.

Our family's events experience with Gennaro has been fantastic.
From the inital consultation to the delivery of the final product, Gennaro made the process so easy. He was always accommodating; making himself available whenever we needed him whether it be taking extra pictures or helping with the layout of the album. His photographs speak for themselves. There were so many fantastic shots that the hardest part of the process was narrowing it down to a reasonable number to fit into an album! We would (and did) highly recommend Gennaro for anyone looking for an excellent photographer for their special occasions!
Michele M.

My family and I had a fantastic experience working with Gennaro.
From the beginning he walked me through the process and had me explain any vision I had for the shoot as we wanted this to be a positive experience.... and it was!
Gennaro was able to capture exactly what I wanted .
He shown me the photos for my review very quickly and
I was able to purchase what I wanted . He even worked with me on editing a photo to be sure it was to my liking.
His photography is amazing and his professionalism throughout the process made it very easy for me to be satisfied. I highly recommend Gennaro to capture your special moments.

It made the whole process run smoothly. He was very professional and provided beautiful pictures that we will cherish forever! Wendy B.

Gennaro did a fantastic job with our wedding. The photos were perfect. Him and his team are professional. At times, I didn't even know we were being photographed. Gennaro is in no "pushy", he will cater to your needs. Gennaro will take the time to make sure all the photos you requested are taken.
Beth & Steve

Gennaro
was a pleasure to work with. He had all 5 of our boys entertained (which is hard to do), and he was extremely flexible when we went to the incorrect location. The photos we received were so unique - with shots we never would have thought of.
I particularly love the candid, those were my absolute favorite.
Gennaro is also extremely responsive and very patient. I had changed my order a few times, and was traveling in between some of our correspondence and not once did I feel pressure.
He was willing to work with me and provided many creative suggestions which we used for our photos.
Marci R.

My family had portraits taken by Gennaro. We had a
wonderful experience. Gennaro was very professional and responded quickly to my many emails and questions regarding the sitting and available options. He came to our home to take the photos. He was delightful to work with. I have three teenagers and he managed to relax everyone and helped to make them smile and enjoy the session. The photos were completed and delivered promptly.
I would recommend Gennaro for any occasion due to his ultimate professionalism. Our experience and the resulting photos will be cherished for years to come.
Allyn F.

Thank you so much for capturing Jared's Bar Mitzvah in such a creative manner.
I've received compliments on the photos from everyone.
Most impressive was your professional manner and the fact that you remembered everyone's names!!
We wish you continued success,
Christine Z.

We cannot say enough about our experience with Gennaro.
First, he was extremely flexible helping to schedule our appointment.
He was wonderful with our three children during the photography session and captured such authentic moments of our family, right in our own backyard. He promptly emailed the previews for us to view online and one was better than the next. We were so happy the final photos, in time for Christmas. He does his work with simple beauty, from the heart. We will definitely use Gennaro again!
Heather L.

Dear Gennaro, the HSI Bash held this past March was a success and we have your generosity to thank you for. It really meant a great deal to me that you went above and beyond to do something so special for a cause I so strongly believe in supporting.
You made a difference in the lives of those in need in our community. Again, many thanks and much appreciation.

Your kindness and generosity directly impacts the education of the children of Allendale. AFEE is very grateful for your contribution.

We had so much fun at the photo shoot with Gennaro.
He took his time and the whole family could relax and just be themselves.
The results are beautiful. We love the natural atmosphere and the light in his work. This is the first time that all our three teenage girls are happy with how they look in a photo. We truly appreciated the whole experience and are thrilled with the wonderful pictures. Katherine H.

Gennaro has been photographing my family for the last 7 years and
I can't say enough good things about the man and his work.
He is amazingly flexible. Anything you can envision, he can make happen.
I highly recommend his services.
