The OP's mother wants her photos which are located in ONE folder (DCIM).
Connect a USB-C hard drive to the phone and copy the one folder. Then
connect it to the PC and copy them there. This way there's a copy on the
PC /and/ a backup on the hard drive. Two birds with one stone.

As for WhatsApp media: install WhatsApp Desktop and copy the Media
contents to the PC without even connecting the phone.

Come on, people: KISS!
