Hmm 🤔 that's fair but I think more often than not it's not what the photographer remembered of that moment but down to common practices with color curves and histograms in Lightroom or something.

I like your idea but I think it's more of a post-render is more like what you remember.

However you can't use your own editing skills to get the picture to how YOU remember it or want it when it's already in someone else's version.

Which fine. Like you never got to SEE yourself and that's why you hired the photographer.

My issue is that I would be happier hiring someone if I didn't have to use their awful makeup filter mode photos that don't even look like we're real people.
