I grew up very near to a Hutterite colony in Manitoba- my mom taught at it - this was a very progressive colony with up to date everything - and the kids were allowed to go to Grade 12 and some went on to post-secondary. Most of the people there were the sweetest,nicest people - and then just like with every community you get a couple of jerks and alcoholics. I know that they wouldn't have an issue with pictures, but then again the Manitoba colonies (Schmedieuleut) tend to be a bit more progressive than the other sects, I think?

What was the name of the colony? Chances are I know some people there.
Yeah, the Schmedieuleut are WAY more progressive. As a whole even.
