If you were to Google “How to be a professional photographer” you’ll find posts that overly simplify the profession like 10 Steps to Being a Pro. While there might be some merit to those posts, being a professional photographer for the long term means a solid work-life balance. Too much work and you’ll burn out, too much chill time and you risk running out of money. One of the things I love about this conversation with Cincinnati based professional photography Tracie Maglosky is how well she’s balanced her busy schedule while keeping a cool head. Listen to this episode and you’ll learn that Tracie blends a healthy dose of personal wellness, family time and photographic technology to keep everything running smooth. Her, relaxed attitude, empathy and beautiful photography are proof positive that we all need to keep our lives in balance if we want success.

Tracie is an Olympus Visionary, Profoto Legend of Light, teacher, mom of three, business owner and wife just to mention a few things she’s up to.
