HIVE MEMBER REVIEW:

"Joining the Hive is the best thing I have ever done for my business, my only regret is not starting sooner!"

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ - Courtney Nicole

The economy is ROUGH right now but my business is thriving. Kelli and the Hive have given me the tools to keep growing and optimizing my business. I'm forever grateful and recommend the hive for anyone that wants to level up their business - whether you are a beginner or running a million dollar studio there is something for you.

HIVE MEMBER REVIEW:

"I love the energy and support from other like-minded women that I have found in the Hive."

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ - Monica Grimes

The collective brainstorming make it easy to stay inspired and productive. It gives me a renewed energy to focus on my business. The group is filled with motivating members who celebrate your milestones and push you towards your goals. It's a safe space where we can share our struggles and successes without fear of judgment.

WHY THIS MATTERS:

The photography world is changing faster than your camera's shutter speed.

What worked yesterday might not work tomorrow. You can either adapt and thrive or get left in the dust.

The Hive exists because I've seen too many incredible photographers struggle to make ends meet. They're undercharging, overworking, and feeling like they're on a hamster wheel that never stops.

THE SOLUTION:

In The Hive, you're always ahead of the curve.

We're constantly sharing what's working right now.

For less than the cost of that lens you've been eyeing, you get:

  • A direct line to me, Kelli, and my brain full of proven tactics & strategies

  • Monthly group coaching calls to solve your biggest business headaches

  • A swarm of 100+ photographers ready to brainstorm, support, and push you

Don't let another potential client slip through your fingers. Join The Hive now and start creating the buzz your photography business deserves!

WHY NOW?

Here's the deal:

Every day you're not in The Hive, you're leaving money on the table. Your dream clients are out there, ready to book – they just don't know you exist yet.

So, what's it gonna be? Another year of hoping things will magically improve? Or are you ready to join The Hive and become the queen bee of your local photography scene?

The choice is yours.

⚠️ But fair warning: we're only accepting photographers who are serious about success. If that's you, hit that "JOIN NOW" button and let's make some honey!

MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR:

KELLI MARIE CONNOR

I never imagined that I would be the owner of a boudoir photography studio that grossed over $800,000 a year. But I am so glad that I am, so that I can teach you to follow in my footsteps.

Imagine having a fully funded retirement, absolutely zero debt including houses and cars, and being able to take as much time off as you want while still earning more than you did at your previous job.

This is not only my reality, this is the reality of hundreds of photographers that I have had the pleasure of teaching in the last 5 years. And it can be a reality for you too! I am here to help you achieve your goals and build the business of your dreams.

I've coached hundreds of photographers, helping them:

  • Go from 0 to multi 6-figures in a short amount of time

  • Book out months in advance

  • Develop a signature style that attracts dream clients

  • Create the business and lifestyle they've always imagined

"The Hive has been such a blessing to my business and my soul."

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ - Megan Livingston

Most business owners are completely alone and have to figure things out by trial and error. I love being a part of a community where not only can we get personalized help and mentoring, but we can also share our wins and just make incredible friendships.

The Hive

Make some serious buzz in the photography world.

The Hive isn't some elite club for photographers who already have it all figured out. It's for the go-getters, the dreamers, and yes, even the strugglers. Because we've all been there, and we're all still learning.

So ask yourself: Are you ready to stop hoping for success and start making it happen? The Hive is your shortcut to building the photography business you've always dreamed of. No fluff, no B.S., just real strategies and a community that's invested in your success.

What Hive Members are Saying

Frequently asked questions

"I'm already drowning in to-dos. How can I fit this into my busy schedule?"

Look, I get it. You're busy. But here's the thing: The Hive is designed for busy bees like you. You don't have to carve out hours from your day. Pop into Slack when you need help, listen to call replays while you're editing, and implement strategies at your own pace. The beauty of The Hive is that it's there when you need it, 24/7. No attendance sheets, no mandatory homework. Just support and strategies when you want them.

"Why group coaching instead of one-on-one?"

Two words: Hive mind. Sure, one-on-one coaching is great (and “comes at a much higher price tag”), but group coaching in The Hive gives you something even better. You're not just getting my brain - you're tapping into the collective wisdom of over 100 badass photographers. That's like having a personal advisory board for your business. Plus, you'll build relationships that last way beyond our coaching calls.

"How much access do I really get to you, Kelli?"

I'm in our Slack channel Monday through Friday, helping out where I can. You get open Q&A time with me on our monthly live calls. I'm offline evenings and weekends to maintain work-life balance. With over 100 other photographers in The Hive, support is always available.

"How's this different from those free Facebook groups I'm already in?"

Free Facebook groups are great for memes and general chit-chat. But The Hive? It's a focused, no-BS zone for photographers who are serious about leveling up. We're talking real strategies, accountability, and a community that's invested in your success. Plus, no algorithm hiding the good stuff from you. Everything's right there when you need it.

"How long before I see results?"

I'm not about that "wait and see" life, and I bet you aren't either. That's why you get instant access to our content vault as soon as you join. Need help with pricing? There's a replay for that. Struggling with marketing? We've got you covered. You can start implementing strategies and getting wins from day one.

That said, the magic of The Hive truly comes from sticking around. Most members start seeing serious results within 3 months. That's when you've had time to implement strategies, build relationships, and really find your groove. But remember, this isn't a magic pill. You get out what you put in. So come ready to work, and I promise you'll see results.

"What if I'm just starting out? Is this too advanced for me?"

The Hive is for photographers at all levels. Just starting out? Perfect. You'll skip years of expensive trial and error. Been in the game for a while? Awesome. You'll find new strategies to scale and optimize. We've got everyone from side-hustlers to six-figure photographers, and everyone learns from each other.

"I'm not a boudoir photographer. Is this still for me?"

Absolutely! While I made my name in boudoir, The Hive is for all photographers. Whether you're shooting weddings, families, newborns, or anything in between, the business principles we cover apply across the board. We're talking marketing, pricing, client experience - the foundations of a successful photography business, no matter your niche.

"What if I join and decide it's not for me?"

It’s a month-to-month membership. Cancel any time.

"Is there a long-term commitment?"

Nope! The Hive is a month-to-month membership. Stay as long as you're getting value (which, if you're anything like our current members, will be a long time). But if you need to take a break, you can cancel anytime. Just remember, the longer you stay, the more you'll grow. It's like compound interest for your business skills.
