A Joyful Chaos is a blog written by a formerly Amish mother of three. This is her photo above, which she has shared on her blog, along with some other family photos from her time as a part of the Somerset County, Pennsylvania Amish community.
The author discusses the Amish approach to photography and growing up Amish, among other things. Back in July, she commented on Amish America that “I have met very few Amish that don’t enjoy seeing a picture of themselves in a newspaper or elsewhere. When asked permission most will deny but secretly hope there will be some poached pictures. Communities do vary in this aspect.”
I recommend having a look at this interesting, unusual blog.
More on Amish beliefs on photos.

This is such a wonderful photo. I’ll have to sign up to this blog. Another perspective to ponder.
Thanks Erik
“A Joyful Chaos” is a delightful blog. I’ve been reading it for some time now after finding it from one of her posts here. She relates her stories well and they are a pleasure to read.
