Having a professional photo can make a big difference. I can see how phones and technology has made it so that anyone can take photos. The studio takes a hit because people don't need to go. Much like a music studio. People can record at home, but the professional makes a difference. The internet is a tool to share the photographer's work (if properly branded). The internet has also made a huge supply of photos, so the general demand for quality has declined. Music is much the same. I have a belief that the demand for high quality, professional photos and music will come back in style at some point. It will come back to people happily paying for music or photos as it once was. You can't expect things to be free and also expect quality
