How do I ask for better photos?

My house has been listed for a few weeks now and not a ton of activity. I’m considering lowering the price by 10k which I think will help, but I’ve also gotten feedback from some friends/acquaintances that are real estate agents (not my listing agent) that better photos would help. I’m trying to figure out how to bring this up to my agent without seeming rude or like I know better than they do. To give some context, the photos on the listing now are just cell phone pictures my agent took, no professional photography or anything like that.

To add to the wrinkle, my listing agent is a long time family friend. I grew up with his kids since preschool and have been close with the entire family ever since.

Any advice?
