Actually, pro pics show everything. EVERY. THING. The selfie craze exists because the resolution on most of them allow for some level of deception. Cell hone cameras aren't designed to show delicate details, i.e. skin texture, full color spectrum, etc.
I will agree that overly photoshopped images are inherently wrong. It's a learning curve, and the real pros back off of it and find the sweet spot of touching up images.
Pro pics go beyond simply putting on your favorite booty shorts and getting arm length pics from a couple different angles. It's props, lighting, hair and makeup (sometimes), adjustments, readjustments, poses, and other things.
I don't think [many, if not most] providers want to go through the process of a pro shoot, even though the photographer (and crew, if applicable) do most of the work. Yes, it can be a bit tedious, but it's totally worth it if the desired results are achieved.
This may rub a few the wrong way, but I'll say it anyway (it's just an opinion). I think if a provider is really comfortable with her body (and knows she's pretty damn hot), pro pics seem the ideal way to go. Those who aren't comfortable with their looks probably want complete control over the pics taken of them, and only at particular angles.
Even though I fancy myself as a pro and clearly advocate letting the pros do it, a couple nice selfies do enhance showcases. If one insists on a selfie only showcase, they should at least be well done selfies.
