Client Testimonials

"Last Spring, I thought it would be fun to record some of my student’s favorite preschool songs and give them the cd as an end of the year gift. Soon after I started, I found that I was in way over my head. I could not find a suitable template for the label anywhere. On a whim, I contacted Expressions by Em. Emily was extremely helpful. Within hours she had sent some samples for me to look at over email. Emily had gone above and beyond anything I could have imagined. With so many great designs, it was very tough to choose my favorite. After making my selection, Emily had them ready within days. Not only was I happy with the finished product, I was shocked when I received the bill. It was a fraction of what I had anticipated. Expressions by Em not only meet my needs, they exceeded my expectations. I will definitely be using them in the future for all of my graphic needs."

"When I called upon Emily to assist with a baby shower invitation for a co-worker at the Iowa State Athletics Department, I knew to expect Em’s friendliness, helpfulness and enthusiasm. What I received was so much more! I was showered with beautiful examples to choose from, attention to every detail, professionalism, timeliness, great prices and an excellent invitation in the end. I have enjoyed referring my friends and co-workers to Expressions by Em."
- Janet Lovell, Assistant to Iowa State Athletics Director; Ames, IA

"I was so impressed with all of the designs provided by Expressions by Em. Every piece that was created for our wedding looked beautiful and was done very professionally.  The stationery was a true representation of my personality and I appreciated the fact that my opinion mattered. I was very satisfied with everything that was done for us and am excited to do more business with Expressions by Em in the future."
- Christie Vold Williams, Satisfied Bride; Ankeny, IA

"The details were the most important element of Cory and my wedding. Expressions by Em was able to take the ideas in my head and make them a reality by producing high quality design and print.  I felt my projects received personal attention to ensure that each piece was exactly what was needed to complete the vision. The service was extraordinary and there was never an issue with any of my requests- even the need for additional seating cards 2 days before the wedding!Although the wedding planning is over for me, I will be using Expressions by Em for all my future design and print needs."
- Abby Janssen Darrington, Satisfied Bride; Des Moines, IA

"I opened up a photography business about the same time Emily opened Expressions by Em. Even though she was busy with her own start up stuff, she helped me out A TON by designing and printing brochures in about a week for my open house. Since then I've gone to her for other design work and she is always efficient and produces amazing work. I would recommend her to anyone!"
- Rebecca Carlson, Owner and Photographer; Photography by Becca, Jewell, IA

"I have done multiple projects with Expressions by Em including Christmas cards, birthday invitations, and multi-photo DVDs. The end product with each was exactly as I’d hoped. My very favorite was my mom’s surprise birthday invitation…the layout, color, and design elements were awesome! Expressions by Em knew exactly what I wanted and presented me with three options to choose from. It was so much fun to work with Em, and I felt like my opinions and ideas were of utmost importance."
