Roots and Light Photography by Allison Shirk

Hey! I’m Allison, the heart behind Roots & Light Photography.

Through my lens, I capture the connection, emotion, and little in-between moments that make your story uniquely yours.

Baseball season is here with my favorite Lil’ Slugger!⚾️

When your senior session turns into the cutest couples session! These are the in-between moments I live for!!

In the end, all you have is love and the people you share it with.
Sneak peek 👀 of this beautiful family session!!

And that’s a wrap on tonight’s large family session!
The weather was stunning, the family was beautiful, and the opportunity was EVERYTHING!
I love what I do and tonight was another reminder of how grateful I am to be able to do what I LOVE!! 💗
I even had my handy assistant (hubby) along for the session tonight!

If you’ve been waiting for the “right time”… this is it.
Golden light, your babies, and memories you’ll be able to cherish forever!

If you’ve been thinking about booking a session with your babies… this is your sign. ☀️
Spring golden hour spots are limited—message me to grab yours!

You don’t need a special occasion or the “perfect” moment to be seen in photos.
This season of life is worth remembering exactly as it is now.

I’m not quiet.
And I’m definitely not stiff or boring.

I’m laughter cutting through nerves.
Hands fixing flyaways.
Fingers brushing away lint.
The one who doesn’t mind just rolling with it because that’s where the magic happens.

I follow feeling.
Mood over method.
Connection over perfection.

I’ve lived enough life to know where the real magic lives.
In nervous laughs.
Messy giggles.
Soft glances.
The in-between moments
you don’t realize you’ll miss until they’re gone.

I’ve walked through enough dark
to recognize light when it flickers.
Carried enough loss
to feel the weight of a glance.
Spent enough time becoming
to be able to honor the moments in-between.

The magic isn’t in posing.
It’s in the pause.
The exhale.
The way your eyes soften
when you finally let yourself feel free.

I’m unapologetically myself.
That’s why I stand out.

That’s why you’ll trust me
with the parts of you you didn’t know were photogenic.
The parts that tell your story.

This is my work.
This is my heart.
This is Roots & Light Photography

Winter wonderland pictures I took today. It was beautiful but SO COLD!

Something I love about the moon is doesn’t arrive all at once.
It grows, carries its weight, bears its shadows
and still offers light. It’s proof that becoming whole again takes time, and even in the quiet darkness, we learn to shine in pieces.

Everything I am today was shaped by this beautiful soul- my Mom.
My story has not always been a picture of perfection, but she has always been the light that reminded me who I was, where I was destined to go in life, and the voice that could calm any storm.
Thank you for being the beautiful soul you are Mama! I love you!
