Welcome!

Photographer Marci Weidler
Thanks so much for checking out the Circle of Life Photography blog! I am an on-location portrait photographer specializing in capturing artistic portraits of high school senior girls. I mainly work in the South-Central PA area, but love to travel too! You are currently on my first blog featuring past photography sessions (when I was photographing mainly babies, kids and families.) You are welcome to stay here, BUT if you want to see my latest work, go here: http://www.mycirclephotos.com/blog/

More blog updates to come!

If 2011 went flying by at the speed of light, 2012 is surely going to beat it... lots of great stuff going on for this year: new business plans for high school seniors, getting creative and having fun with packaging, lots more to share, but for now just popping in to say I am still here and appreciate you checking in! Since I can't give out virtual hugs, here's a virtual smooch from one of my favorite little guys :-) Hope you are all doing well and enjoying life!

Giving Back~ Organizations supported by Circle of Life Photography

In giving back, Circle of Life Photography's main goal is to help those experiencing extreme poverty and nourishing them with food, shelter and spiritual guidance. Education is a big part of helping people learn how to help themselves and change the downward spiral of poverty for a better future for themselves and their children. Locally, a more tangible way of giving back is through using my photography gifts to serve others who are experiencing crisis (see NILMDTS and Pillows of Love.)


Compassion International~ Haiti's Child Survival Project

In 2011-12, Circle of Life Photography makes a monthly $30 donation to the non-profit organization, Compassion International, whose goal is to change Haiti through the rescue, nuture and discipling of children during the critical early childhood years.


Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep Foundation

http://www.nowilaymedowntosleep.org/

Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Foundation (NILMDTS) gently provides a helping hand and a healing heart for families overcome by the grief and pain of the death of their newborn or infant. Offering gentle and beautiful photography services in a compassionate and sensitive manner is the heart of this organization. The soft, gentle heirloom photographs of these beautiful babies are an important part of the healing process. They allow families to honor and cherish their babies, and share the spirits of their lives. I am an active NILMDTS volunteer photographer for Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center and Lancaster Women & Babies Hospital.


Joni & Friends Family Retreat

I am honored to be a volunteer photographer at the Joni & Friends Family Retreat in the Poconos (Spruce Lake Retreat) for a week each summer (click here for past blog post.) Joni & Friends seeks to serve as a ministry of outreach to people with disabilities and their families across the US and around the world. Families from around the country attend Family Retreats seeking relaxation, encouragement and a time to strengthen their family.
