Hi Barbara,
Since almost every printer is setup to print onto rectangles (CD
printers are pretty much the exception) your probably not going to find
any specific for printing circles.
However most software packages for imaging, like Adobe Photoshop have
a circular selection tool that would let you select a circular or oval
area of a photo and allow you to make the outside of the oval a solid
color to help with trimming. But your still going to print a rectangle.
Having done this process for making buttons its not that pleasant.
Your best bet is to take a ruler and measure the height and width of
the frame's image area and then crop the image to the closest print size
(say 5x7, 4x6, etc.) that will fill the frame and then use the circular
selection tool to make sure you subject fits in the viewing area of the
frame.
