I know there are some enthusiasts here.
But does anyone know a good way to convert 35mm images to digital or should I need to seek out professional help?

If you mean you want to get photos taken on film converted to digital, then yes; all you need is a film scanner. Many flatbed scanners include this functionality, but dedicated film scanners can do a better job.
If you mean you want to turn a 35mm camera into a digital camera, then AFAIK this isn't practical, at least not for most cameras. I've seen a few product announcements for devices that are supposed to do such a conversion, but the ones I've seen have all been jokes/hoaxes.

Unless you shoot a lot of film on a regular basis then sending in to film lab to do.
As a decent film scanner is cost $1000-$2000 dollars. As pointed out some scanners have an option to scan film in.
But don't give the best result.

I find digital is the only way for me couldn't afford the time and prices of film & processing.

Have to agree here - unless you want to make a big investment, just have a lab or kiosk do it - very cheap. Around here there are drug stores and big box stores with these facilities. I could probably spit and hit three of them. If good quality is important you may want to consult a reputable camera shop - you usually get what you pay for.
