I recommend you never store images in a SQL Server database, or any databse for that matter. I think you will find it to be more trouble than it is worth.

My recommendation would be to store the path to the image as a string in the database and use simple uploading to store the image on the server so you can access it later.

Uploading files:

But if you must head down this road, this should assist you (he will try to convince you otherwise as well, but he still does show you how to do it):
