About
I'm Emily, a.k.a. Em, and this is Em's Lens. Thank you for visiting my profile. I've been behind a camera since I was 16. So, for over 20 years. I studied photography in college and have officially been in business since April 2023. I have dozens of 5-star reviews and do a variety of videography projects for organizations and individuals--from organizational promos, to music videos, to events. My business tagline is Your Story, in Focus. I am a storyteller. This is my specialty. Each video I make is different because each of you are different. But all of the videos I produce have 3 things in common: they're heartfelt, they're honest, and they're high quality. I'm primarily a videographer and photographer, but I have some bonus skills in marketing and communications from a master's in communications that help me get just the right result that will resonate with your audience. I've also been a musician all my life, which is how I pick just the right song for the moment. 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 beautiful for who they are.

Working with Emily was one of the best decisions I made for our one-year anniversary. From the very beginning, she was incredibly communicative — quick to respond, patient with every question, and genuinely invested in understanding the emotion and meaning behind the project. She took a huge collection of our photos and videos and somehow turned them into something that felt like a movie. The first draft was already great, but what stood out most was how willing she was to make edits, adjust clips, and fine-tune every detail until it felt perfect. She never rushed the process and treated the project with the same care I would’ve given it myself. The final video was emotional in the best way — beautifully put together, perfectly paced, and exactly the feeling I hoped it would capture. It honestly exceeded every expectation I had. My wife and I will have this video forever, and that means more than I can put into words. If you’re looking for someone who not only has talent, but also heart, professionalism, and real pride in their work, Emily is the person you want. I couldn’t recommend her more.

Emily helped me with a 5 minute video of my cell phone videos and photos to create a story to advocate for a case. Her pricing was upfront but I was most impressed with her diligence and responsiveness, even though I wasn't. I really felt like my project was a priority!
