Once upon a time, I was paying $10 to $15 per stock image that I bought to use on my site, blog, and social media channels. As you can imagine, my wallet wasn’t liking that habit so much. I knew that there had to be a better, more affordable way to have amazing images for my brand. Well, like in most cases – I was right! 🙂 Today, I am sharing with you guys where to find affordable stock photography! So get ready, prepare to spend money on your biz in other ways, and brace yourself for this awesome resource…
As a woman entrepreneur, you need images that are both stylish and strategic. Images that will capture the imagination of your dream clients and make them see the value of your work. More than just pretty pictures, you need photographs that convert your dream clients into raving fans, images that invite them in to your digital home to stay a while. Believe it or not, there is an affordable resource for feminine stock photos. You DO NOT have to sacrifice great images for price. So here’s a little confession…
The Haute Chocolate Stock Library Subscription saved my buns.
Seriously, I just refuse to set up staging with the cardboard, flat lay accessories, and the perfect lighting. I am doing well if I even find a clean coffee cup in the morning, you feel me ladies? So, purchasing stock photography was a must within my biz budget. Haute Chocolate’s selection of styled stock photos were designed with the woman entrepreneur in mind. Their images are both stylish and affordable. Best of all, they’re all high resolution files so you can use them as large website headers, or small instagram photos without a hitch. Use them to easily and beautifully communicate the quality & creativity of work that you do. By becoming a Styled Stock Library Member, you’ll have access to hundreds of professionally styled photos at your fingertips. Use the library as your resource when you’re branding your website, need an image for a blog post, creating social media images, or want a cohesive look for your online shop and products.
So how much does Haute Chocolate cost?
Seriously, let’s do the math. On the low side, purchasing one stock photo for $10 would allow you to own 22 photos for the yearly price of $225. Now, I have always liked math and this situation makes me love it – it is a NO brainer ladies. Also, if you think 22 images is a lot – it isn’t. You can use Haute Chocolate images for blog posts, your website, headers, sales, social media, and SO much more.

Where are my coffee and confetti lovers at?
I love these zen photos that are in the collection!
What sets Haute Chocolate’s images a part from the rest?
There are lots of online options for free stock images and there are lots of beautiful images that you can purchase online. What sets Haute Chocolate apart from the rest is that fact that one can only have access to these images if they are a member of the stock image library – pretty simple but oh so important! I myself have bought images and then saw another blogger use the same image – they had every right to, just like I did but still it’s like that girl that shows up to the party wearing the same dress as you are – it just puts a damper on things. There are over 700+ GORGEOUS images in the library – that is like 700+ different outfits to wear. Dramatic I know, but I think you get my gist.
Go check out more at HauteChocolate.ca and never stress about not having the perfect stock image again!
I am so glad that I did – I never worry that I won’t have a gorgeous, feminine image at my fingertips – and that is the best feeling. Thank you Rachel for providing women entrepreneurs images that are fabulous, affordable, feminine, and simply AWESOME! Remember ladies, you only have a few seconds to make a killer first impression on your audience – make it pretty with Haute Chocolate!

The Haute Chocolate stock library… why am I not a member? This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Purchasing individual stock photos gets so expensive. This is definitely something worth investing in.
