There are a few different ways I find pictures for recipes. Sometimes I will take my own photos of the finished dish, but other times I will search for stock images online. There are also websites and apps specifically for food photography that have a wide selection of high-quality photos. Another option is to reach out to the recipe creator or food blogger and ask for permission to use their photo. As for adding the pictures to newsletters, I usually just insert the image into the email or use a program like Canva to create a collage with the recipe and photo. I hope that helps!
