At the same time, the two photographers in my neighbourhood are doing better than ever. When it comes to memories (like newborn photos) surprisingly many people are willing to pay a premium.
Often the event being photographed has the participants fully involved, they don't have time to think about photos. Hence the need for a professional. DIY has limits, people are single-threaded. You need to hire professionals for extra threads.
My neighbourhood photographer charged me approximately the same for taking a passport photo and auto-submitting it via a quality-checking app as I'd have paid to use the quality-checking app myself...
She also recognised my name from the prints of my baby nieces she'd sold.
