Shawn Healy Photography

I was inspired to pursue photography by my cousin, Staff Sgt. James Hunter, a photojournalist with the 101st Airborne Division. James was killed in action in Afghanistan in 2010, but before his final deployment, he and I photographed his brother’s senior portraits together. His dedication, passion, and legacy continue to guide me every day.

What began as a hobby to honor him grew into a calling. After years of refining my craft, I launched my photography business and opened a studio in Elizabeth, WV. Today, I specialize in sports photography, senior portraits, real estate, and family sessions—capturing authentic moments that tell each person’s story.
