Pin this post!

If you're anything like me, you're always looking for the best feminine stock photos for your blog. But they can be hard to find! Luckily, I've got you covered. This post has 32 different stock photo sites where you can get free feminine stock photos or cheap feminine stock photos.

And they all look great.

So if you're looking for the best feminine stock photos for your blog, look no further. This is the definitive list of feminine stock photo sites.

Let's do this!

Before we start listing sites (and believe me, I'm listing them below), let's talk about some of the basics first.

Why Does My Blog Need Stock Photos?

A blog needs images. They break up the text in posts, they catch the eye, they can be useful to explain things, and they just make pages and posts look good.

Depending on your blog topic, you might be taking some of your own photos. For example, a food blogger would almost certainly take her own photos of the dish she's writing about.

But other times you really don't need to take your own photos, and that's where stock photos come in.

And for some niches (like mine), it never makes sense to take your own photos. So all my photos (aside from the ones of myself, of course) are stock photos or screenshots (if I'm explaining something techy).

So bottom line: your blog needs images. So if you're not taking them yourself for whatever reason, you need to use stock photos.

Free Versus Paid Stock Photos

There are pros and cons to both free stock photos and paid stock photos

Free stock photos

The advantage of free stock photos is, of course, that they're free. And that's rarely a bad thing.

But, there are some detriments to using free stock photos too.

You may find that lots of other people are using the same image as you if you get it off a popular site.

Additionally, there can be some serious legal difficulties with using free stock photos from big sites like Unsplash and Pixabay. The explanation is a little convoluted, so I'll leave it for this article to explain it.

Paid stock photos

With paid stock photos, the disadvantage is, of course, that they cost money.

But, since you're paying, it generally means that it's less likely that someone else is going to be using the same photo (although it's still possible, since some of these membership sites are really popular).

You are also less likely to run into legal difficulties like with free photos discussed above.

Can you just take photos from Google Images?

NOOOO.

Don't ever do this. You do not own the rights to those photos, and you absolutely can get sued.

Don't do it.

11 Websites for Cheap Feminine Styled Stock Photos

Ivory Mix

Ivory Mix is my absolute favorite membership site. Not only does it include thousands of great stock photos (most of them feminine photos), but it also includes tons and tons of Canva templates that are REALLY well designed. (Side note: if you're wondering about all the things you can do with Canva, you'll want to give this post a read). And if that's not enough, it also comes with dozens of courses and workshops that are all genuinely really valuable.

I'm always shocked by how much content she gives away for such a low membership price.

It's well worth it.

Sign Up Required: Yes. You can either download stock photo bundles (or Canva templates) one a time and pay a price for each bundle, or you can sign up for her membership which gives you access to absolutely everything. All photos, all Canva templates, all courses, all workshops. Everything. Can you tell I'm a fan?

Cost: $167 for an annual membership; $67 for a quarterly membership.

Attribution Required: No.

Commercial Use Allowed: Yes.

Pixistock is another fantastic membership site that I also use. They offer tons and tons of feminine stock images, plus a huge number of Canva templates for pretty much everything you could possibly need. I use them all the time.

Here's one example.
