CELEBRATION OF LIFE PROJECT.
I’ve been inspired by photographer Angela Shea to participate in The Celebration of Life project.
When I read what she was doing I thought ‘what a wonderful idea’ and felt I had to get involved.
So what is the project all about? In Angela’s word:
I have often come across people in my community who are going through something in their lives whether it be sickness, recovery, a birth that has overcome great odds an adoption, and my automatic response to those stories is that I want to reach out to them and offer them a photography session ( free of charge of course). Something that would document this time in their lives, whether it be to leave behind memories for those they love or to commemorate a happy and joyful time.
To me the images that we take mean so much more than just a time and a place- they are a celebration of our lives.
So I challenge you to nominate your friends or those you have heard of who are deserving of such a celebration. Take an active roll in those lives around you- Email applications to: susan@susandarcy.com.au

This post is apt today for me. I’d like to share someone with you
Meet Damian, or as he was known to all who loved him ‘DIMMA’
Happy ‘heavenly’ 33rd Birthday mate!
3/1/1974 – 24/7/05 R.I.P
I’m so happy to have had you in my life for along as I did. I know you are watching over us still and one day we will meet again.
To all of those who I know are missing him today too, you too are in my thoughts.
) My eldest daughter is going into grade 3 (still feels weird saying that, I remember bringing her home from the hospital like it was yesterday) and my youngest son who is now almost 3, will be starting at our newly opened local child care centre! This is very exciting for me, as it means I will be able to take on more clients which in turn works out well for yourselves and your friends.
