took photographs themselves/ of each other

Hi,

1.Becky and Jack took photographs themselves.

2.Becky and Jack took photographs of each other.

I'm trying to figure out the difference between the two sentences.

My understanding is as follows:

1. The first sentence means the two took photographs by themselves; no one helped them.

2. The second means each one took photographs of the other.

Am I right?

Thanks.
