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!

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.
Have you seen these knit bottoms for babies? So fun! Created by a local Asheville artist -- I haven't seen the crankypants in person but the babies on her site look adorable wearing them! They make me giggle.
Our friend Elise has just opened up her etsy shop! Check out her shop for handblown, beautiful glass items (jewelry, housewares) like those pictured below.
The kids and I checked out the "Art on Main" in downtown Hendersonville this past Friday. We got there early, so most of the booths weren't officially open for business yet (but there were still parking spaces - score for us!) so we mostly just window-shopped. But I did buy this beautiful maple bowl made by an artisan from Whittier, NC. I just love and appreciate all the detail that went into making it. You can check out more of his intricate work here.
Looooooove this new piece of artwork courtesy of Aaron! The colors make me happy. I took a close-up of it so you could see the texture (paper on canvas) as well as the picture of a little girl, which is one of my favorite parts besides the mix of colors.
