I laughed SO hard with these girls. We wandered around the city of Poughkeepsie, NY and at one point, I was actually lying on the ground laughing. In my book, that means we were successful! The point of this shoot, of course, was to show off some awesome CourtneyCourtney dresses. It’s not the first time I’ve had SO much fun on a CourtneyCourtney shoot. See. And whoa … here’s one from way back in 2010!
But back to laughter.
You probably know that laughter is good for you. But this Gaiam article shares the following 7 benefits of laughter:
- Lowers blood pressure
- Reduces stress hormone levels
- Fun ab workout (score! That’s fewer hundreds I have to do on my next Pilates session!)
- Improves cardiac health
- Boosts T cells
- Triggers the release of endorphins
- Produces a general sense of well-being
So … laugh on! It’s super good for you : )
Happy Thursday!

p.s. If you ever want to read an AMAZING book on how laughter can cure illness, take a peek at Norman Cousin’s Anatomy of an Illness. It’s a bit of a dry read, but packed full of thoughts that really blew my mind the first time I read it. The power of laughter is real!
p.p.s. Thinking of booking a newborn session or a family session in the Hudson Valley area of NY, NYC, or Delaware and tri-state area? Give me a shout! I’d love to hear about your dream session.
