I try to use all my own pictures, the website builder I go through have a ton of pics for me to choose from. I have noticed there are common pics out there that companies use. You can google carpet cleaning and hit the image button to see the most commonly used.

What website builder you using?

I went to www.istockphoto.com to get alot of my pictures. Bill Yeadon told me about that site. Better to buy your photos instead of stealing them from other sites.

For the main pictures I would take your own. There are only so many good ones on Istockphoto and you really don't want look generic. Good pictures really aren't that much work. Some services like carpet repairs, I just used stock photos for.

Ok, check it out. I have Intuit which is probably the most user friendly DIY program. This company is quickbooks compatible and they also offer CC service. Its $5 bucks a month with a huge gallery of pics. The templets are ok, but you can shape it to your liking.

We once bought a "stock" photo of a nice living room to use in a brochure. Turned out the photographer sold the photo and never got permission from the homeowner. The living room happened to belong to a customer of ours, and we were fortunate to keep the customer and dump a lot of brochures in the recycle bin. (A friend in the biz used pictures from a home without permission and lost the customer.) I doubt this happens much with stock photo firms, but since we no longer use any stock photos we're careful about how and when pictures are taken. Permission in writing is critical if you take pictures for use in public that can be identified with anyone's building or belongings.

If you go for stock, just avoid using the pics of guys in short sleeve shirts and ties. 8)
