Usually starts in taking your photo with friend (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

typically

'usually' is the definition.

'starts in taking your photo with friend' is the wordplay.
'starts in' indicates taking the first letters.
'photo' becomes 'pic' (I've seen this before).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'friend' becomes 'ally' (I've seen this before).
The initial letters of 'taking your' is 'ty'.
'ty'+'pic'+'ally'='TYPICALLY'

(Other definitions for typically that I've seen before include "In characteristic style" , "Characteristically" , "Ordinarily" , "As a characteristic example" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
