Check to make sure you do not have a Focus turned on. Also, do you happen to have an Apple Watch? If so, when the phone is locked, notifications come to the Watch, not the phone.

I guess I can try to set my phone to never lock the screen

Not a good idea. That leaves you completely vulnerable. Are you leaving the phone face down on the table or night stand? Have you verified the settings for Notifications on the iPhone? Try turning the Watch off and lock the phone screen and see if you get a notification on the phone. Are you experiencing notification problems with any other app than your cameras?
