Photos? Who doesn't have photos of themselves in uniform? Does the company do it for newhires? Did they have any union or company job where the pictures were taken?
Or did she just have it taken because she was proud of herself? Good for her, she should be. I've been to camera shops and seen photos displayed of guys that have formal pictures taken in their uniform. Why'd they do it? I don't know and I don't care. I doubt it makes them a weaker pilot.
Over the decades I've probably seen dozens, if not more than 100, of these pictures and there's probably thousands that I havn't seen. BFD. It's not like the camera steals your soul like some uneducated people believe.
