No Photos, Please
You won't really see an Amish person posing for a selfie. They're opposed to being photographed due to the vanity of the fixed image. Some will agree to be in candid photographs that they are not taking themselves or will pose if their face isn't showing.
Amish Population Boom
Even though Amish teenagers are allowed to leave and experiment, about 80 - 90% of them stay within the community. The high retention rate plus a high birth rate means that the Amish population nearly doubles every 20 years. There are a lot of them, and they're always growing!
