Image to SQL Server

How can I take several pictures from a place on my hard drive, like c:documents and settings, and insert them at once into a SQL server DB so I can use them in SQL Reporting Services? Joe Janka

The problem with that is that there are about 6,100 pictures, i am creating a report making a letter to be sent out with a picture of the product i am referring to in the body of the letter, so its not really for the web. none of the pictures is above 59K and total they are 170 M. what is the load procedure because I know SQL Server does not have a function to pull them in by itself Joe Janka

How about leaving pictures where they are and storing in db full file name? I guess you are not going to retrieve information based on column containing image, so better do not store them in db.
