14 years behind the camera. A photography business built in the real world.
I’ve spent 14 years photographing real clients, building profitable offers, refining workflows, selling hundreds of mini sessions and learning how to market a photography business that supports a life outside of work.
Today I teach photographers the systems I still use myself — across shooting, client experience, mini sessions, content, Meta Ads, marketing and business growth. I also run Belleview Studio, host photographer workshops and create retreats for women in business focused on content and marketing.
"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 14 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.
I teach photography business because I still run one.
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.

14 years of experience across photography, marketing, sales and business.
Working Photographer
14 years photographing newborns and families professionally, with more than 1,000 families photographed. I still shoot clients, market my offers and refine the systems I teach.
Mini Session Systems
More than a decade running mini sessions, including selling 300 Christmas mini sessions in 24 hours and continuing to sell hundreds every year.
Newborn Workflow
A calm, repeatable workflow built from more than a decade of newborn sessions, client experience and real studio days.
Marketing & Meta Ads
Hands-on experience using content, Trial Reels and Meta Ads to sell my own photography and education offers — then turning what works into practical systems for photographers.
Studio Owner
Founder of Belleview Studio — a creative studio and business space for photography, branding, content, workshops and experiences for women in business.
Photographer Mentor
I teach photographers around the world, host in-person photographer workshops and run retreats for women in business focused on content, marketing, confidence and growth.
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’m still building businesses, hosting workshops and creating spaces for women to grow.
Belleview Studio is part of the business ecosystem I’ve built alongside photography — a creative space for shoots, content, workshops and events. I also host photographer workshops and retreats for women in business focused on creating content, improving their marketing and growing 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.
