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!

Alice the camel had two humps...
I have that annoying, repetitive song in my head now...and I thought those long hairs were her eyelashes at first but on closer inspection I'm thinking eyebrows?
I took the kids to the Mountain State Fair at some point this past week. They had a good time. I had...an okay time. It's just not the same thing as the Minnesota State Fair, though it was loud and noisy and warm. But they enjoyed feeding the animals and sitting in the Fire Ranger's helicopter (which remained on the ground) and the ferris wheel (which was a little high for my taste) and the camel rides. I was a little freaked out about Harper sitting on the camel at first but she is a daredevil and had no problems with it. Also, when I asked her to hold my hand on the ferris wheel she said, "No, mommy." She's all heart. Anyway, that was the fair experience this year...all in all, probably still better than getting drenched last year.
