Let's be real for a minute.
I. do. not. have. time. to. take. instagram. photos...ever. I always forget, always. And then I'm left monday morning (when I do my post scheduling) wondering what in the hell I've been doing all week because there aren't any new photos in my camera roll. I don't know if it's just me as a person or what, but the struggle is real, ya'll. Cue stock photography.
But not the stock photography you're thinking about. Not the cheesy smiles or weird staged office photos--like real life, beautiful, styled stock photography.
And don't get me wrong, it's all about variety. I'll take some photos, use some stock photos, and sprinkle in some more photos from previous brand shoots or workshops. You can't just rip photos off of google and hope for the best--we all need real content.
But when you're in a pinch and just need a quick photo to post up, look to these resources first!
Okay, so full disclosure, Rose is one of my good friends here in Spokane. But that just means that I get to brag about her even harder.
Her stock photography is seriously so top-notch, it doesn't compare to anything you're going to find online. Not only is she a local gal, but her bright, crisp photography paired with amazingly cute styling makes this-- in my opinion-- the number one resource for anyone with a budget for stock photos.
If you're in need of photography with real people in the photos, this is the place. These aren't those typical, cheesy shots of things that would never happen in real life, and it's definitely worth a search when you're in need of some really great shots with people in them. Real people, real-life things, my go-to.
Okay, but let's really talk about a go-to. Pexels is hands-down-my-go-to forever and ever. I don't typically use this site when I'm looking for specific things, but its really nice for background images and nature shots. I especially like it when I'm staging free downloads or building a client website with placeholder images.
This site is great because it's literally fo' free! All you do is hit download and that image is all yours (as long as you're not selling it).
