I built a photography business that gave me my life back.
Now I help photographers build calmer, more profitable businesses using the exact systems I still use inside my own photography business.
I’m not here to teach theory. I’m here to show you what has actually worked over 13+ years of photographing families, running newborn sessions, selling out mini sessions, building studios and mentoring photographers around the world.
"I’m a photographer first. Everything I teach is built from the business I still run every week."
— Codie MurrayYour photography business should give you more than an income.
It should give you freedom, confidence, calm and the ability to actually live the life you started it for.
I know what it’s like to dream of leaving your 9–5. I know what it’s like to want school holidays, family time, flexibility and a business that works around your life — not one that takes over every spare moment.
- More predictable bookings.
- More confidence in your pricing and offers.
- Better client experience and repeatable workflows.
- Marketing that actually leads somewhere.
I left my 9–5 because I wanted a different life.
One where I could choose my own hours, spend school holidays with my boys and stop asking someone else for annual leave.
Over the last 13 years I’ve built a photography business that has photographed more than 1,000 families, sold 300 Christmas mini sessions in 24 hours and created multiple six-figure years.
But the thing I’m most proud of isn’t the numbers. It’s the freedom.
Now I help photographers build businesses that create that same freedom for them.
These photos are not just my portfolio. They’re my proof.
Every resource I create comes from the photography business I still run — newborn sessions, family sessions, Christmas minis, client workflows, studio systems, content and ads.
I still photograph families every week.

Real experience across every part of running a photography business.
Working Photographer
13+ years photographing newborns and families professionally. I still shoot, still market and still refine my client experience.
Mini Session Systems
The system behind 300 Christmas mini sessions sold in 24 hours — without building a business that runs me into the ground.
Newborn Workflow
A calm, repeatable workflow built from more than a decade of newborn sessions, client experience and real studio days.
Marketing & Meta Ads
Simple content and ad systems designed to help photographers get seen, trusted and booked without overcomplicating everything.
Studio Owner
Founder of Belleview Studio — a content and branding studio created for photographers, creatives and women in business.
Photographer Mentor
I run in-person workshops and coach photographers around the world through pricing, offers, content, ads, systems and strategy.
You’re not learning from someone who used to do this.
You’re learning from someone still running a real photography business, still photographing clients, still marketing offers, still refining workflows and still using the same strategies I teach.
- In-person workshops for photographers.
- Zoom coaching for photographers around the world.
- Support with pricing, offers, content, ads and systems.
- Practical strategy built from the business I still run.
This is what a profitable photography business made possible.
The holidays. The school pick-ups. The ability to be there without asking anyone for leave. The freedom to build our dream farm, create studios and design life around our family.
That’s the version of success I want more photographers to experience.
I also built a content and branding studio for creatives.
Belleview Studio is part of the business ecosystem I’ve created — a space for branding, content, workshops and women building businesses with more confidence.
This is why my education is different.
I don’t just teach theory. I build businesses, launch offers, run studios, sell digital products, mentor photographers and test marketing strategies in real life.
- Photography business owner.
- Studio founder.
- Workshop host.
- Photographer mentor and growth coach.
