Absolutely. The advances in digital photography has opened it up to almost everyone. They're not doing Disney's next add campaign, but they are doing several family sessions per week, and they are bringing in money.

A friend of mine had her wedding photographer lose 6 months of data in a hard drive crash. She should have known better, and may have, but she didn't do proper backups.

Yes, my wife's done this for almost a decade. She gets paid well, provides professional service, and works under an LLC

What else would you call it, if not professional?

That said, I have to harass her about backups.
