Kinesiology…

—

I have worked in higher education for the last 5 years while earning my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Kinesiology, Exercise Science. I have also obtained certifications from the American Council on Exercise (ACE) and the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM). While I was the opposite of athletic as a child, my life was completely changed for the better when I started training Krav Maga in 2018. This sparked a passion that I didn’t know I was looking for and led to achieving multiple certifications, and pursing those degrees I mentioned about.

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. This desire to teach, combined with my growing experience in higher education led to going back to school for my Master’s in Kinesiology.

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.

Your story in every detail…

—

Hi, my name is Sami Laughlin!

I am the owner and founder of S.Laughlin.Co. I started this 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 photography 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 professional 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, to make you feel 100% at ease while I capture every detail.
