At the Biltmore Estate

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.

Christmas trees at Biltmore The kids had a day off from school last week so they decided they’d like to visit the Biltmore Estate. Though the main reason we went was to see some fall color we happened to visit on a day when preparations for Christmas at Biltmore were in full swing. (They’re stringing lights on the tree here.)

Once we entered the house we were delighted to discover decorated Christmas trees already up and glowing in each room (except for the banquet hall tree, which goes up this week.)

Here’s the Fall we were looking for! After driving through the walled gardens we noticed these beautiful trees near the pond.

Be still my heart…the colors + light were irresistible.

Finally, a parting shot from the river.

Raven: Oh my goodness, Joanna! These are amazing! The one with Harper on the ground doesn't even look real - in a very good way! :) I'm dying to come back.

Heather M.: oh my, the colors and light are perfect! wow!
