Mothers Rarely Appear in Family Photos

Summary

A recent survey of over 500 UK mothers by CEWE indicates that 58% are rarely or never present in their family photos. The primary reasons cited are the difficulty of getting into the frame (45%) and dissatisfaction with their appearance (44%). Despite these challenges, 66% of mothers expressed sadness about not having more photos of themselves with their infants. The survey also noted that nearly nine in ten mothers act as the family photographer, with most using smartphones for family pictures.
