Most people (in my area) hire a photographer to take senior photos. They may hire me because they see my ad instead of someone else they already know of because they like my work better. Or, let's say they decided to just do it on their own/have a friend do it...until they see one of my images and go "wow." The second may be spending money when they wouldn't, but that's pretty rare. If they do it's because they decided it was worth it. The others are just being shown another option that they might not have known existed, meaning they're more informed about where they're going to spend their money. I don't see who is getting hurt in this scenario. I get work that I need to survive and they're getting photos that they're excited about.
