:: Weidler Kids ::

Today's attempt at photographing the kids went much better than the last time I tried. I really wished for some amazing pics of our own kiddos to have made into Christmas cards. They were unusually cooperative and I acknowledge that bribery was key in getting them to work with me (nothing like the promise of a Frosty to get what you want!) Here are a few from our mini-session this afternoon, and yes, we each enjoyed our Frostys afterward. I was pleased at how the images pretty well reflect their personalities... Syd's sweet demeanor, Ike's mischievious smirk, and Sam's giggle come through in a way even I didn't expect! Enjoy!

  2. Hi Marci,

    Hopefully this blog thing works this time. We just came on your website to check out some of the baby pictures. You are very talented, the pictures are amazing. Of course it helps with the perfect little models. Your kids are very cute. Anyway, we can't thank you enough for you gift. It is such a cool idea and we are very excited. Talk to you soon.

    Love,

    Nate & Melissa, and 75% Addisyn

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.)
