Story
The Journey
About Rooted Light
A quiet invitation to return to the natural world
Rooted Light began not with a business plan, but with stillness.
It was born in the quiet space between raising four children, walking forest trails, and noticing — really noticing — the small, sacred moments the world offers when we pause long enough to see. A single acorn split open on a mossy path. A dragonfly resting on rusted metal. Raindrops clinging to a wildflower like whispered prayers.
These moments, often overlooked, became stories. And these stories became Rooted Light — a living collection of imagery and offerings devoted to rekindling our connection to the natural world, and to ourselves.
Each photograph is unedited and unstaged — captured as it was, with reverence and wonder. They are fragments of wild grace, offered as prints, cards, canvas art, and digital downloads to bring a sense of peace, presence, and belonging into your home.
But Rooted Light is more than a print shop. It is a way of seeing.
It is about remembering how to live from a place of groundedness, like the trees. How to flow like water. How to observe without rushing to fix. How to witness beauty in the quietest of things — and allow them to guide us back to wholeness.
In time, Rooted Light will also grow to offer forest therapy — an invitation to walk slowly, breathe deeply, and listen to the land. To let the stillness of the forest become a mirror for your own calm.
Whether through a photo, a print, or a pause in the woods, this space is here to remind you:
You are part of nature. You belong to the wildness and the wonder. And there is light in you, waiting to root again.
Meet the One Behind the Lens
A mother.
A seeker.
A witness to wonder.
I’m Nicholle — a mom of four, a quiet observer, and the heart behind Rooted Light. Life moves fast in a house full of growing children — days tumble into years, and the once-small moments blur into memory.
But nature has taught me something vital: if I slow down enough to look, there is still wonder all around me. I photograph the world the way my children see it — with curiosity, reverence, and awe. A raindrop on a leaf. A stone stack on the shoreline. A petal barely holding on. These little things ground me. They remind me who I am beneath the schedules, the noise, and the motion.
Photography has become both sanctuary and offering — a way to find calm in a busy world, and to share that calm with others.Rooted Light is not about perfect images. It’s about presence. It’s about seeing the sacred in the everyday. It’s about remembering to pause, breathe, and simply be.
If my lens can help you feel even a moment of stillness, then I’ve done what I came here to do.
