Spotlight on Kelsie Noble, Owner of Pink Pineapple Boutique

In January I announced a special passion project I was adding to my portfolio. Being on the receiving end of love, grace, and support of so many strong women in my life has been one of the biggest blessings I’ve received. The mantra of “Women Supporting Women” is so very important to me and I try my best to live out loud the meaning of those words. Having the platform of this photography business, be it small and humble, I don’t want to miss an opportunity to lift others up. I opened up my DM’s and inbox for nominations of local women who deserve to be loved on and celebrated for the beautiful souls that they are. And I am so, so excited to kick it off with the beautiful, sweet, and passionate Kelsie.

In my first conversation with Kelsie, all of Cara’s words rang true.

Kelsie, originally from Terre Haute, graduated from Indiana State University with a degree in Business Management and Marketing. After fulfilling her lifelong dream of living the California life, she moved to Northern Indiana and has called it home for the last five years. And last year she took on the title of Owner of Pink Pineapple Boutique. I asked Kelsie to share some of the lessons she’s learned over the past year that may help other young women chasing their entrepreneurial dreams.

“Something really important that I’ve taken with me is to stay true to myself, which we’ve all heard throughout the years. But when you’re in it and you start comparing yourself to others in the field, it’s easy to start not staying true to yourself. That’s been really important,” Kelsie shared.

“For example, there have been times I start to notice I’ve ordered some pieces of clothing that aren’t my style or true to me and I stop to pull myself back in. Or I may get caught up in the day to day tasks and feel overwhelmed trying to figure out TikTok and Insta Reels and I pause to remind myself of why I’m here. I want women to feel happy and smile and feel good about themselves. I want them to feel confident. 

So stay true to yourself and really when times get tough, and they will, really remember the purpose of why you started.”

Pink Pineapple Boutique, located at 7225 Heritage Square Dr. #240 in Granger, Indiana, is a trendy women’s boutique featuring gorgeous clothing, jewelry, and accessories. When you enter this boutique…you just feel good. With vibrant colors and positive affirmations mixed amongst the inventory, it’s easy to see why this is Kelsie’s happy place.

Kelsie is sweet. She is kind and genuinely excited every time someone enters her shop. She has a strong faith in God, which she showcases in how she cares for her customers. Our shoot took place during open business hours at the storefront and we would occasionally pause so Kelsie could assist her customers. As she checked out one young lady she casually caught up with the happenings of her life, and learned she was expecting baby #2, and not having a great pregnancy. “I’ll be praying for you,” she said before the customer parted ways. It’s obvious that her faith leads her in all aspects of her life. She can be bashful and bold at the same time, with a quiet voice but strong convictions. And following her own passions allows her to support other women to feel good in their own skin and treat themselves!

And behind every strong woman, is another strong woman showing her the way.

“My mom is the very best person and my best friend. I have four siblings that are adopted. I only share that fact as a glimpse into the kind of person my mom is. We range in ages from 15-33, so we are older now, and have so much fun when we’re all together.”

“My family has a lot of diversity. And that’s important to me and a big part of who I am. So I want my shop to be a place where everyone feels welcome and seen. I love my family so much.”

A huge milestone is coming up for Kelsie, and a great opportunity for you to celebrate this strong, gorgeous lady! Kelsie will be celebrating one year of ownership of Pink Pineapple Boutique with a special event in the store featuring snacks, giveaways, sales, and friendship, on Saturday, February 13th from 11am-4pm. Shop local, and support women :)

Cheers to you, Kelsie! May your heart and fire continue to bring you success in all you do and may it inspire other women to chase their own dreams with the same tenacity that you have!
