  We calculate the magnetic moments of ground state $J^P=\frac{1}{2}^+$ and
$J^P=\frac{3}{2}^+$ heavy flavor charm and bottom baryon states employing the
concept of effective mass based on single gluon exchange interaction coupling
to the spectator quarks in the non-relativistic quark model. We exploit the
current experimental information in the heavy flavor sector to estimate the
interaction contributions to get the effective masses of the quarks inside the
baryons. We study the spin $\frac{1}{2}^{'+} \rightarrow \frac{1}{2}^+$,
$\frac{3}{2}^+ \rightarrow \frac{1}{2}^+$, and $\frac{3}{2}^+ \rightarrow
\frac{1}{2}^{'+}$ transition moments for these baryons. We make robust
predictions of the radiative M1 decay widths of singly, doubly, and triply
heavy flavored baryons.
