Every trail has a story. Every table has one too.

Forks & Trails Photography captures the people, places and moments that make an experience worth remembering — from races and events to restaurants, food and the outdoors.

Our Story

Why Forks & Trails?

Every weekend, you’ll find us doing the same thing.

First, we hit the trail.

Then we find somewhere new to eat.

It’s been our ritual for years.

In fact, that’s how Forks & Trails got its name.

Before it was a photography business, it was simply a blog where we documented our adventures together—exploring new trails, discovering hidden gems and sharing meals along the way.

Food and adventure have always been part of our story. We met through Yelp, and choosing a hike and a restaurant became our favorite way to spend time together.

Over time, that passion for exploration grew—and that’s where we are today.

Whether we’re photographing a race, a mountain landscape, a restaurant dish or a special event, we’re still doing what we’ve always loved.

Exploring, discovering and telling stories.

Carissa

Carissa is the voice behind Forks & Trails. She manages the website and social media, records video from our adventures and tells the stories behind the places we explore. She’s usually the one planning where we’re hiking, where we’re eating afterward and is frequently distracted by anything interesting growing, flying or crawling beside the trail.
