In a memory of Sarah Guyard-Guillot “Sasoun”

Sarah Guyard-Guillot glamour portrait session

It is a sad time for all of us who loved Sarah; whose lives were touched by this beautiful woman in one way or another.

Sarah tragically died last Saturday while performing in Cirque du Soleil’s Ka.

We met Sarah in Las Vegas last year at a party and that is where our friendship started. Sarah became a friend. A warm and loyal friend that we came to love. She had introduced us to “Ka”. A magical world. We did a couple of shoots together. After coming back to Australia we kept in touch, hoping to see her again soon.

Neither of us, not me, nor David could believe the news that we heard Monday this week. We thought it was a bad joke. Time stopped and we are now frozen in disbelief and sadness.

You are going to be deeply missed, beautiful soul; our lovely Sarah. Our thoughts are with you and your family.

For those who are moved by Sarah’s story – here is the link to Sarah’s Memorial webpage. There you can also find an official link to donations that will go to her children.

Here are a few images that I found of Sarah. Thank God I took some “Behind the scenes” shots at that party where we met when all her athletes/friends were having a great time.

Then there are a few shots that I have taken of Sarah in a pool a couple of days later.

    Kira, I am sorry to hear of the loss of your dear friend. I am a photographer and I absolutely love the Cirque, and I have seen Ka! I don’t know if I saw Sarah perform, but I understand how great of a performer she was to be a part of that wonderful show. Bless you for being such a great friend to post these beautiful photos, so that we all can be touched by and feel this great spirit!

    You have some fantastic pictures of Sarah. I also met her just over a year ago when I started to look after her two children. She was a wonderful lady and it is such a tragic loss. I will continue to look after her children and keep them safe although I know she will always be the watching down on them. Thanks for sharing the lovely photographs. Lisa x

    You really captured her – I didnt know her but everything I have seen shows that she was a giving adventurous soul . She looks like she never had a limit . Most of us wish we had that brave heart to meet the challenge . I wish I was that brave , she lived life at full volume , never muted . Sad loss to the world when someone with that gift leaves us .

      Well said dear Debbie. Thank you

    Tenias que estár ahi sacando esas fotos, que bueno que lo pudiste hacer para que todos los que no pudimos conocerla podamos hacerlo un poco más gracias a vos. La verdad es que no la conoci, yo soy de Argentina, he oido hablar del Cirque du solei y creo que un par de veces estuvieron por aqui pero no tuve la suerte que tuviste vos de poder conocerla. De todos modos me ha dado mucha tristeza la noticia, Te mando un gran abrazo. Te quedas con un hermoso recuerdo de ella.

    Magníficas fotos de una artista que se marcho de una manera que no hubiese querido. Bella Sarah que descanses en paz!!!

    Thank you so much

    Although I did not know Sarah personally, I was very sad to hear of her accident and subsequent death, it seems so awful that one so young and full of life should lose it so soon and leave her children without the precious guidance of a mother.

    Your photos of Sarah are very beautiful.

    Sorry for your loss

    Ashley
