.:the beginning:.

My name is Heather Hasse. Among many of the titles I wear in my life, I am a wife, mother, and founder of simplytoimpress.com.

simplytoimpress.com was created in 2003 when the search was on for creative and innovative designs for personalized invitations and announcements. I was a woman on a mission- I wanted to use photographs to truly capture the moment in life that I was celebrating...whether it be a family holiday, the birth of one of my four children, or a birthday party I was throwing for a friend! I wanted to embrace that moment and capture the memory...and I didn't want to have to pay a fortune in order to get something that unique.

After hard work, dedication, and the loving support of my family, simplytoimpress.com has come a long way since that day when the dream began. The "I" has become an "us", as we expanded from a one person designer into a collaboration of other graphic artists, photographers, and support staff...but the foundation is the same. There have been other companies that have followed our lead to try and create similar announcements and invitations, but I feel as though our philosophy, customer service, and product quality stand alone. Read on to gather a little more insight into the thought process that we put into our designs...

.:the philosophy:.

simplytoimpress.com is dedicated to providing our clients with the time necessary to create quality event essentials at an affordable price. We offer unsurpassed customer service, and our attention to detail is what makes us stand out above the rest. We are widely known for our high standards and artful presentations. It is a fact that each and every one of us is shaped by our personal and professional experiences. It affects how we see the world, how we react, how we relate and how we set our priorities. We adopted our philosophy at simplytoimpress.com from personal quests in the search for brilliance, creativity, and uniqueness for our own personal events. We realized that searching for creativity and personalized attention for an event should not have to come with a high price tag.

style - Although we can create most any design for our products, our specialty is using photographs. Photographs are the poetry of the visual arts. Their physical scope is contained within the four edges of a single frame, and within a precise moment in time. But their ability to convey meaning and beauty is immeasurable. This is our inspiration.

uniqueness - We will create a one-of-a-kind stationery that let's you and your family share in the excitement of this magical occasion. We promise to create a memory for family and friends that will be a definite reflection of your unique personal style .

our goal - Our goal is simple. We wish to provide you with a quality, custom ordered product and personal customer service, all for a reasonable price. Each event in life boasts unique, individual stories that have been the central theme of our art work. We are a small company that does business the old fashioned way...with integrity, hard work and respect. We are delighted that you have chosen Simply to Impress to design your event essentials, and we look forward to working with you in creating your personal masterpiece!

our passion - Our artistic expression will make your occasion a unique experience that will be cherished forever. Our uncompromising vision bridges the gap that lies between fine art and photography. Soul and grace with style. Our passion will be your reward.

Life's events are notorious for being expensive... With Simply to Impress, they simply don't have to be.
