Several space selfies were made and chances are you already know the very first one Buzz Aldrin took of himself during Gemini 12.
The cameras used are large-ish but imagine even holding a shoe box in front of you with thick gloves on: you're still able to point it at yourself in a distance suitable to make a photograph of yourself, provided the lens' focal length/field of view allows to capture enough of your face.
At least some of the cameras just look like a normal DSLR in a special casing and can be seen in the helmet reflections like this one:
There is a nice gallery of space selfies at Wikimedia.

I've always assumed that selfies had to be done with smartphones, because the term includes a pun on the beginning of the word "cellphone". But I've checked a number of dictionaries and they just say that they're typically taken with a hand-held digital camera.

It's too bad the Apollo 12 crew couldn't get their smuggled self-timer to work. The planned portrait of the two of them standing next to Surveyor III could well have beaten Armstrong's portrait of Aldrin as "most-reproduced".
