Hey there! Here's your answer.
Transient means something which is temporary or short-lived. Here, when the author says terribly transient feet, she refers to the ever changing imprints of the feet left on the sea sand. The sea never appears to change but the human life is transient. It's never constant, it will see both ups and downs.
After about twenty or thirty years the poet’s mother would look at the photograph laughing nostalgically and remembering the past. She would appreciate the dress worn by her cousins Betty and Dolly. The sea holiday belonged to the past of her mother and the poet still remembers how her mother would laugh looking at the snap shot. For the poet both these bring great sadness and an acute sense of loss. Her mother died 12 years ago and now the poet has noting to say about this circumstance of the photograph.
Hope this will help you. If you're pleased with my answer please mark it as a brainliest.

The meaning of terribly transient feet in a photograph means humans who are short-lived and mortal. Here, feet symbolise humans. The poet in the poem "A Photograh" says the reader that the sea has remained the same while the humans grow old and finally die because they live on earth temporarily. Here the poet is referring to her mother who is no more.
