No one takes pictures of moms—so I'm doing something about it
"That an entire Christmas can be documented without so much as my toe making an appearance is boggling."A rare non-selfie of the author and one of her daughters. Photo: courtesy of Kristen Thompson, I realized there was not one photo of me. If an outsider had been scrolling through the documentation of our family’s yuletide bliss, they would likely have surmised that this family did not, in fact, include a wife or mother.
I think it’s because there seems to be something unremarkable about my children being in my arms. Not just to my husband, but to most people in my life. This has been a truism since the day they were born. Perhaps people are so used to seeing us together that it’s become white noise. Perhaps I have become invisible.
Rayanna Dykes Tremblay, a photographer whose job it is to captures other people’s memories, says she’s so sick of asking her husband to take photos that she actually started scheduling selfie time with her toddler daughter. But she’s unsatisfied. “Selfies don’t show the interaction I have with my daughter,” says Dykes Tremblay. “They just show us posing.”
