Introduction

I'm Emily Arndt, and this is Em's Lens. Owned and operated by Emily Arndt in South-Central Pennsylvania, Em's Lens provides videography and photography services tailored for local nonprofits, small to medium-sized businesses, and individuals. Em's Lens is a woman-owned, fully insured small business with a studio in York, PA. With Em, you get high quality work from 20 years of combined experience, while not breaking the bank. It's tough out there, so I'll do my best to work with you. Most importantly, at Em's Lens, I take pride in creating an inclusive and supportive environment for everyone, regardless of race, sexual orientation, or background. I believe that diversity enriches our community and enhances our ability to connect, understand, and grow together. With a warm, welcoming approach, I strive to make every individual feel respected, valued, and celebrated for who they are. These are my services: Videography: With a feature film production under my belt, I comes to the table with hundreds of hours of production and editing time. I can walk you through the production process end-to-end, from concept to completion. I specialize in non-profit/business mission videos and family/special occasion videos. Photography: With formal education in photography from York College of Pennsylvania, I approach photography with creativity and technical expertise. I specialize in headshots and portraits for individuals, families, relationships, and organizations. Logistics: I'm fully insured and have a studio in York, PA. I shoot outdoor or indoor with a grayish backdrop and a green screen, plus 5 professional lights and a Sony A7IV. I have a variety of lenses, all professional grade. I also have professional audio recording equipment and a shoulder rig for cinematic videography.
