Where the Coast Becomes a Story

Founded in Santa Monica and now based dockside in the Channel Islands Harbor, Salt + Noelle is a small studio sharing authentic moments from the shoreline - inviting you to experience the ocean’s magic, wherever you are.

We believe in honest storytelling and ethical photography. Every image and product begins outdoors, with patience and respect for wildlife and the natural world. Whether you’re here to shop or explore, we hope you find something that brings you closer to the coast.

Deferred Dreams to Wild Encounters

I’m Alexis Noelle, a photographer who spent years dreaming of the ocean and finally found my way to the coast. My work is rooted in field time and honest storytelling, documenting the real moments where people and wildlife meet. Every image and product here is inspired by California’s coast and the natural spaces that have shaped my story.

I hope these images and stories bring the Pacific a little closer to you, wherever you are.
