I am a terrible procrastinator. It’s something I’ve struggled with all my life! If there’s no urgency to get it done or if my deadline is still a while off, I will take my sweet time. I guess I’m just a bit of a rebel like that. 😂

Anyway, a couple of weeks ago while I was in the midst of a procrastination session, I came across a stunning flat lay photography image on google while searching for something else. I had instant graphic envy and decided to do a little detective work to find out where it originated from.

Without trying to I had discovered a whole new world of stock images. Beautiful, bright and feminine images. Brilliant and branded insanely well. How did I not know about this?!? I scoured for a few more hours and found even more amazing resources. Several of which I now use on House of Brazen.

Want to know what those resources are?  Well, if you’re a sucker for beautiful graphics, here’s my 5 favourite desktop & flat lay photography stock photo resources of ALL TIME. Yes, ALL TIME.

Styled Stock Society

I fell in love with Elle’s photography style pretty much instantly and have been using a lot of her images in my latest graphics for the blog and social media. Her stock images are so beautiful and feminine, and I love the softness to the images she creates. Some stock images can be quite harsh or a bit grey lighting wise, but I really like the light hers give off. She also offers 10 free stock images to start off with so go and grab those first! You’ll love them! 🙂
