You can use modules for that.

After adding a module to your Visual Studio Project and adding the image inside it, you can reference it that way:

var web = SPContext.Current.Web; //web scope, if site scope then use SPContext.Current.Site.RootWeb instead.
var myFile = web.ServerRelativeUrl + "/ModuleName/image.jpg"
