We had the good fortune of connecting with Amanda Tipton and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Amanda, have there been any changes in how you think about work-life balance?
I’ve gotten both better and worse at work-life balance over time. I think as I’ve gotten older it’s gotten easier to establish good boundaries with work- only answering emails at certain times, protecting my days off, etc… However, I think as I’ve tailored my photography business to what I want to be doing it’s harder to say no to work. As work gets more involving and exciting, the line between work and life can get a little blurry!

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I am an arts and dance photographer. I work with a variety of organizations like Wonderbound, the Colorado Symphony, the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, Central City Opera and others. I also photograph dancers, helping them advance their careers and social media presence. I really like helping artists of all kinds find their audiences and promote their work!
