The Cay Collective
Connect. Collaborate. Grow Together.
Welcome to The Collective
The Cay Collective Networking Group is a monthly meet-up for creative professionals, photographers, content creators, and small business owners who value community over competition.
This is your space to connect with like-minded creatives, exchange referrals, spark collaborations, and build lasting professional relationships. Whether you’re looking for a trusted HMUA, a videographer, a designer, or a photographer to refer out or second shooter — this is where those connections begin.
What We Do
Monthly Networking Meet-Ups
Once a month, we gather in the studio to meet new creatives, share ideas, and grow our professional networks in a relaxed, welcoming environment.
Community Referrals
We believe in genuine, earned referrals — not forced exchanges. Members naturally learn each other’s strengths and services, creating a reliable web of trusted professionals. Studio Cay Collective will also list Cay Collective members, their businesses, and their contact information on its exclusive Studio Membership resource page to help maximize your business’ reach.
Collaborative Growth
We’re stronger together. Our group fosters an atmosphere of encouragement, opportunity, and shared success.
