Welcome to Wayward Ranch

I'm Rachel VanZale, an award-winning military photojournalist, now dedicated to capturing the beauty of life through photography and videography. After years of service, I've transitioned from documenting combat to focusing on what I love most—capturing life as it unfolds naturally and organically. At Wayward Ranch, I aim to create authentic, timeless imagery that tells your unique story. Whether it's the spirit of the western lifestyle, special events, or candid moments, my goal is to preserve the real essence of every experience. I look forward to working together!
