Welcome!

Hello! I'm Joanna, author of this photo journal. My husband, Mark, and I are professional photographers in Asheville, North Carolina. The name of our company, Tuesday's Frog, is based on an almost-wordless children's book about mischievous frogs that go flying on lily pads one night. We love this book because the illustrations are truly the heart of the story. Speaking of mischievous, Cole & Harper are our children, and frequent, though not always willing, photography subjects. Here you'll find not only the stories of our everyday lives, but of those we've photographed in our capacity as professional photographers as well. Please feel free to browse the links above, check out the archives at the bottom of the journal for more photo stories, or subscribe and receive email updates of all our antics. Enjoy!

spring break


I've had such a good week with these two sugar plums, home on spring break. It makes me think that I might just survive this summer....with a sprinkling of summer camps and activities, of course!

Easter photos

After a beautiful sunrise service at church we headed over to the Biltmore Estate to participate in the Easter Egg Hunt. After registering the kids for the hunt we had plenty of time to enjoy the gardens & grounds...


Cole was just a little excited, I think!


I really loved the colors of the tulips this year...


...they matched Harper's dress perfectly!





Sometimes they are so sweet to each other...


...and sometimes (ha!) they are not! Love the hand-over-the-mouth-kiss!


Finally, 11am arrived and it was time for the hunt. The kids both enjoyed it, despite the fact that they were divided by age into different sections of the lawn. Everybody was nice and there were plenty of eggs to go around...which made it quite enjoyable compared to hunts (not at the Biltmore) that we've been at in the past. After the hunt they each turned in their eggs for a nice treat bag of goodies.


After lunch we headed down to the bass pond & waterfall for a little more time outdoors in the beautiful weather. (Goal: to wear the kids out.)




Hmmm...something tells me we accomplished our goal! It was such a beautiful, enjoyable day!

Izzy @ 14 months | Greenville baby photographer

Be still my heart...she's growing up, too! This is Miss Isabel...otherwise knows as Izzy. (How I love those 2 front teeth, and that grin!)


Could she be more scrumptious?



Workin' the bow...


Tell me, what do one-year-olds like more than to be in motion?


...kisses from Daddy, of course!


Thank you SO much, Emily, Jeff, and Isabel, for allowing me to be a part of your lives this past year! It has been such a treat to get to know Izzy Bee and see her learn & grow! and walk! Ooh, have fun with the walking!

oh snow!

We had a little dusting of snow yesterday...


...let's just hope it's winter's last gasp!


Thankfully, the snow was gone by mid-afternoon, which is good, since we're keeping our fingers crossed for a warm Easter.

Catherine @ 1 year | Greenville baby photographer

Oh my goodness, my baby's all grown up! Okay, okay, she's not really mine. She is plum adorable, though, and settled right into that chair for me...


...for about 2 seconds, and then we were off!


I love this one...Catherine is walking very well on her own but sometimes it's nice to know that mom's still there.


I love seeing her personality develop! Check out her beautiful birthday dress...and I love that bow, too (and the fact that she has enough hair now to wear bows!)


A little glimpse at those gorgeous lashes....(please note the green frog as well!)



Thank you so, so much, Caroline & John, for sharing Catherine with me since the very beginning. It has been such a honor to document her very first year in this world and to know the 3 of you!

Lydia @ 6 months | Asheville baby photography

Oh, baby, what a sweet face!


I hung out with Lydia, her parents, and a couple of her special friends last Friday. It was a little chilly so we didn't stay outside for long...(but isn't that the cutest Easter outfit?)


Seriously, how could you resist those sweet cheeks?


This particular friend is Sally, the eco-friendly fairy, crafted by Lydia's mom (who also sews/knits Lydia's clothing, diaper covers, and blankets, all in her spare time!)



Phew! After all that attention (and a few clothing changes) there's nothing better than some comfort food and a little snuggling with mom...

Our first tulips!

(Just overlook Harper's hair, okay? She'd just woken up from her nap and we were in a hurry to get outside to meet Cole's bus on time.)

buds & branches

Sometimes when you try to photograph birds you just get...

...branches.
(I thought this looked sort of pastel & Eastery, though, so I'm sharing it.)

crafty stuff

I went to a home show the other night and found some crafty goodness...these chunky blankets are stacked and waiting to appear in photos wrapped around newborns...


I love the texture & the colors...


...you can find more of Kate's work (knit hats, felted hats, baby booties, clothing and blankets) at this store-with-the-cutest-logo in West Asheville: The Littlest Birds


Speaking of birds, I loved this quote on canvas by Robin.

PS. If you're planning a trip to Asheville, or if you're like me and have to plan your weekends through November ahead of time, The Big Crafty will be back in town on July 12th.

grape hyacinths












Found these in my other neighbor's yard...at this point you're probably just glad that I don't live next door to you, right?
