Hi friends! It's Leesa, the gal behind the lens. I am so excited that you are here. The idea behind Rustic Lens Media is to incorporate the western lifestyle with timeless memories. It has been a true blessing to get to experience this lifestyle and I'm excited that you're here!
the vision
 
Rustic Lens Media was born from my love that began when I was just a child. I'll never forget the moment I saw my first rodeo. My beloved Aunt was a coach for a rodeo flag team in my hometown in Arkansas. The gorgeous hair, the amazing outfits and the horses! I was absolutely hooked on the western lifestyle from that moment forward. The beauty and attention to detail that I saw in them is the beauty and attention that I see in each one of my clients. Being raised around thousand-pound animals, something most of us fear, is what excites me! So, if you see me on the ground with a camera in my hand pointed up at a bull rider just know I am living my dream.
