Where to Find Beautiful Images for Your Website

Images are one of the most powerful tools you have to shape your brand’s tone and make a lasting impression. Whether you’re going for grounded and calm or bright and hopeful, your photos should reflect the energy of your practice.

Free Image Resources

These sites offer high-quality, royalty-free images you can use on your website without cost:

Both platforms have search features that make it easy to find therapy-appropriate photos—think warm lighting, diverse people, and calming environments.

Paid Image Libraries for a More Curated Look

If you want something more unique or editorial, here are a few favourite paid options:

  • Death to Stock – Monthly photo drops with a consistent, artistic aesthetic

  • Stills – A great collection of modern, intentional imagery

Image Sizing Tips (So Your Site Loads Fast!)

Large images can slow down your website, which affects both user experience and SEO. Here’s how to prep them:

  • Use PixResize to reduce file sizes to 550kb or smaller

  • Rename files before uploading with clear, keyword-rich names like toronto-therapy-room.jpg

  • Add alt text to every image for accessibility and SEO. For example: "A therapist holding space for a client in a cozy office."

Bonus Image Tips

  • Stay consistent with tone and colouring across your site- choosing images that are within your brand colour palette will always make them feel intentional and on-brand.

  • Avoid overly staged or clinical photos—natural and inviting always wins.

  • Use your own brand photos if possible (or consider adding a brand photography session to your project!)
