Salt + Noelle is a photography and writing project built around nature, simplicity, and intentional creativity.

Noelle has been photographing wild places - coastlines, animals, and natural textures - for over twenty years. This site is part portfolio, part blog, and soon, part thoughtfully curated shop. You’ll find photo essays, travel tips, product recommendations, and reflections from behind the lens.

While the business itself is new, it’s grounded in years of practice, perspective, and a deep love for the work. Everything here is made with care and curiosity.

A curated collection of products is on the way - including fine art prints and other nature-inspired goods.

If you value quiet beauty and honest storytelling, we’ll think you’ll find something meaningful here.
