Last year, I decided to do something for myself for Mother’s Day – I set aside some time to take some self portraits of myself with my kids. As a photographer and mother of three, I know how all too often, the photographers in the family aren’t often in their own family albums. But I just read the results from a survey of moms on photography – and the results are sobering.
More than half of mothers – 58 percent – are “almost never” in their own family photos, according to a recent survey conducted by the UK-based photo print lab CEWE. Around 45 percent say the reason is that it’s too difficult to get in the shot, while 44 percent say they don’t get in the photos because they are unhappy with how they look.
