Hi! Howdy! Hola!
I'm Rhiannon, owner and photographer at Western Lens Media.
​
Growing up in a small Missouri town, I was always fond of the family farm and being behind a camera. Oddly enough, that was the starting point of a business. From a young age, I captured life around me, whether that was with a point-and-shoot, DSLR, or eventually a phone camera. More often than not, I photographed the family pets or livestock to turn in as "projects" for the local 4-H fair. As I matured, photos went from 4-H exhibits to social media posts. Social platforms developed, and so did my curiosity. As time went on, I started diving deeper into growing my following, checking out my personal analytics, and finding new ways to captivate an audience. These small cogs are a part of the clock that has become Western Lens Media.
Upon my high school graduation, I attended Northwest Missouri State University. I would complete my bachelor's degree in agricultural media with an emphasis in advertising. Through website SEO courses, graphic design courses, and working with real-world clients to complete assignments, it became clear that working in the digital age seemed a good fit for me.
​
I now reside in Maryville, MO, with my boyfriend and work as an administrative associate at Midwest Assistance Program, Inc. When I'm not at work, I'm taking on photography clients or finding ways to improve and grow my business. I guess you could say I have turned my hobby into work, and work is my hobby.
