“Working with Emily Benson is a dream. Her consistency, leadership, and experience offer so much value to an entrepreneur seeking support for their business.
I engaged Emily’s services when starting my small business knowing I’d need to outsource website development, and product photography. Little did I know, Emily would offer countless tips and insight along the way thanks to her small business expertise.
Emily has experience in a broad array of small business services from website development, to lifestyle and product photography, to advice on platforms for streamlining inventory management, email marketing, shipping logistics, and more.
As it relates to photography - Emily is so talented! She has the ability to capture a story with her images, while also staying true to brand standards in post production. I appreciate her attention to detail, and am particularly fond of the warmth she used in editing the images of my products.
My heart is full of gratitude for Emily - her patience, persistence, kindness, compassion, and creativity have propelled my small business forward in ways that were merely dreams six short months ago. To say she’s had a profound impact on my life would be an understatement.
I would recommend Emily Benson Consulting to anyone starting a new business or hoping to make improvements to an existing business!”

“You can have great ideas and visions of success, but it takes an expert plan and some real know-how, to make it a reality.
Emily Benson brought my radiant ideas into focus and orchestrated her team of writers and photographers to deliver a beautiful website and a social media program to enhance it.
The thought of trying to weave a vision into technology I didn’t understand was intimidating. Emily was both patient and confident throughout the process, explaining systems, options and new technologies. Her method allowed me to make informed decisions about building a brand with our website, laying a foundation for future business. The Truitt House website is the tool we needed to knit together our passions. Emily captured our style in a complex design that covers everything and flows beautifully.
At the onset, Emily presented a plan of deliverables and met every deadline. She produced a professional and elegant product and we could not be more pleased. I continue to look to Emily for advice on next steps and find value in her counsel.
Thank you Emily, for working with me - and for always making time.”

“Emily Benson came highly recommended to me by several of her long time clients, but it was what I saw in her work with these successful entrepreneurs that drew me in. Whether it’s building your brand, planning your strategy or capturing the perfect photo, Emily relates to and captures the spirit of her client. Her focus, attention and expertise deliver a top quality result in a timely manner. Take a good look at her work and you can easily see her commitment to your success.”
— Shelley Kilby, Graze Kitchen
“Emily Benson has been so instrumental in the success of Graze Kitchen! I always tell her she makes us look so good, but she does way more than just that. We look to Emily for new ideas, marketing guidance, website setup and maintenance... honestly, I’d feel lost without her. She pops into the restaurant to eat, snaps new photos for our social media and is available anytime we’ve ever reached out to her. I had no idea the true power of social media but Emily knows exactly who to tag, link you with and promotes us perfectly. Running a new business for the first time can be overwhelming and it takes a very strong team.... so glad we connected with Emily to be on ours!”
—Gregg Rozeboom, Fruitive
“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Emily for over seven years. She is one of those rare people that truly pursues excellence in everything she commits to. Emily has been an integral part of our team, playing key roles in establishing our new locations and online presence, developing training guidelines and implementing protocols for our business. It has been incredible to see her go from an entry level position with my company to move all the way up to Vice President. She is someone I can count on to think outside the box and consistently come up with solutions that will only better both me and my company. I give her my highest recommendation, without reservation.”

"The first thing that draws anyone in to working with Emily is her eye-catching, modern, and fresh design aesthetic. But, even more incredible than her talent, is what a pleasure it is working with her. She is kind, gracious, and patient. I could not have asked for more support and guidance through my project; she consistently honored my style and wishes and heard my questions and concerns, all while steering me in the right direction. I will most definitely be working with her on future projects as well if she will have me!!"
“Emily effortlessly turns the wheels behind-the-scenes for small businesses and creatives alike. She makes the stress and anxiety of starting a new business feel like tai chi and a spa day.”
- Perry O’Rourke, Purely Elderberry and Wellness
“As a first time business owner I knew I didn’t want just anyone to do my website. After viewing a friends website that Emily had done I was in love and knew she was who I wanted to work with. Her style, experience and cool is something I needed as a busy mom and business owner. After our first meeting I knew Emily would understand my style and vision for my website. Emily was uncomplicated and easy to work with. She was on time with everything and provided the tools to help me and my business work well. I look forward to working with her in the future.”
— Rachel Shafer
“Emily did a photo shoot for my professional headshots in March, and it was such a great experience! Leading up to the shoot, she was so responsive over text, making scheduling an easy process. Emily’s professional yet warm, friendly personality immediately set me at ease and made me comfortable during the shoot. The day of the shoot she was prepared with poses, positions, and locations for photos, yet she was also receptive to any of my suggestions and ideas. Emily even provided the photos to me way ahead of schedule! The shoot yielded outstanding photos that accurately reflect who I am as a young professional. My LinkedIn profile never looked so good! I highly recommend Emily for any of your photography needs. I will definitely be using her again!”
