Amish Baptism
The Amish people are Anabaptist, which refers to believing in adult baptism as opposed to infant baptism. This tradition stems from the belief that following Jesus should be a decision made voluntarily by adults. In Catholicism, by contrast, babies are typically baptized in accordance with what their parents decide.

There are some misconceptions in regards to photography within the Amish community. It’s not forbidden by the religion to be photographed, however posing for pictures is not allowed. If you ask an Amish person to be photographed, they’ll usually decline. However, if you take a photo of them in a natural, unposed setting, it should be okay. Some groups allow for children’s photos to be taken. Some communities have been more relaxed towards photography as of late.
