Your story in every detail…
—
Hi, my name is Sami Laughlin!
I am the owner and founder of S.Laughlin.Co. I started my first business at 16 years old as The Art Studio Collective. What started as a youthful expression of my artistic interests has grown into a sophisticated photo, video, and content creation company.
With every project I set out to tell the story through the intricate details. That means that i’m equally as interested in the big picture and the hidden elements that led to that moment. On a wedding day, that could be hand written love letters that came before the “i do.” For portrait sessions, it’s a moment for mom and dad to remind them of who they were before their little loves came along. For branding clients, this means showing off the personality that created a dream and brought it to life. With every session, I hope to meet and exceed your expectations of photography by infusing professional photography experience with instinctual artistic vision. I hope that while working together you feel like a friend more than a client, so that you feel 100% at ease while I capture every detail.

I’m always down for an adventure! whether that is around town or out of the state, and I love to document it all through written and visual storytelling.
My husband Brian and I have been together for over 5 years. We are a rare type that values and enjoys spending time together and inspiring other couples to keep their love alive. We love to adventure together, so you’ll see some of those adventures here through my blog. You’ll also see some day-to-day content across my platforms, including friend-dates with my girls, vacations with my family, and whatever else life brings!
Through my blog and social media channels I create lifestyle content, personally and professionally. On these channels you’ll find reviews, experiences, and storytelling, and I would be happy to create this type of content for your business too!
If you love Disney content, you can also find me here.
Now booking sponsored and gifted deals. I would love to collaborate!
Kinesiology…
—
While earning my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Kinesiology, I also gained experience in higher education while working in student success for my University. Having the experience of helping other learn, discover new success strategies, and leading classes and workshops developed a love for education that directly connects to other areas of my life.
In 2019 I started teaching a women’s only Krav Maga class with Absolute Tactical Defense, which further developed my love of this activity and grew a passion for teaching. I love teaching health and wellness in addition to self-defense and I love any opportunity to speak on this topic.
In addition to my dual degrees in Kinesiology Exercise Science, I also hold the following certifications:
Krav Maga Tactical Practitioner - Graduate Levels (Black Belt)
Krav Maga Tactical Practitioner - Women’s Defensive Tactics Instructor & Assistant Instructor
American Council on Exercise (ACE) - Group Fitness Instructor
National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) - Corrective Exercise Specialist
While Kinesiology is a complete 180 from everything else that I am passionate about in life, I love it completely and look for any and every opportunity to teach others how to love their bodies and treat them well while pursuing health and functionality every day.
Now accepting speaking engagements.
