Here on Bless, visuals are just as important as the words. From cozy flat lays to outfit inspiration and beauty product shots, every image is chosen (or created) with care to match the overall feel of this blog.
I believe in giving credit where it's due, and I want to be upfront about where my images come from, how I use them, and what you can expect if you ever spot one that looks familiar.
1. My Own Photos
Many of the images here are ones I've taken myself. If you'd like to use one of my original photos, just reach out first:

2. Stock & Licensed Images
Some visuals come from trusted stock photo sources that offer free or properly licensed commercial use, including:
- Unsplash
- Pexels
- Canva Pro
- Adobe Stock (under limited use license)
I only pull from platforms that allow blog use, and I credit the original photographer whenever it's required or possible — usually in the caption or at the bottom of the post.
3. AI-Enhanced or AI-Generated Visuals
Every so often, I use images that were created or enhanced with AI tools. These are mainly for mood boards, concept illustrations, or visual experiments — never meant to mislead anyone into thinking they're real people or actual products.
Any AI-assisted visuals on this blog are:
- Directed and styled based on my own ideas and aesthetic preferences
4. Pinterest & Shared Content
If an image from Pinterest or another blog appears here, it's only because it was publicly shareable, and I do my best to link back to the original creator. If something belongs to you and you'd rather I remove it or credit it differently, just let me know — happy to fix it right away.

5. Copyright & Removal Requests
I don't take image use lightly. If you ever feel an image wasn't credited properly or shouldn't be here, reach out and I'll sort it out quickly and respectfully.
Thanks for helping keep this little corner of the internet honest and creative. Making something beautiful online is never a solo effort, and I'm grateful for every photographer, creator, and platform that makes it possible.
