western lifestyle photographer

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.
