Capturing life’s warmth,

based in cincinnati
Welcome to my website!
I'm a wedding photographer based out of Cincinnati, Ohio and I can't wait to work with you!
Take a moment to explore the various sessions I offer, and feel free to reach out if you have any questions. My goal is to provide exceptional photos and go above and beyond to capture your memories in the best possible way!
I work with clients in all stages of life, but my passion lies in helping couples capture the magic of proposals, engagements, and wedding moments. If you're looking for photos that truly reflect the joy of this special season, I'm your girl!
Where Warmth Meets Memories
Life is made up of those little moments that just feel right— the warmth of the sun, genuine laugh, or quiet magic of being together.
I’m here to capture those moments as they are, so you can treasure them forever. It’s not just about taking pictures—it’s about telling your story in a way that feels natural and fun!
Hey all!
My name is Lori Yoder and I'm 28-years-old, standing at 5' 1/4" tall. I've loved taking photos for awhile now, but it wasn't until 7 years ago that I decided to pursue it more seriously. Recently, I graduated from Cincinnati State with an AA in graphic design and started working for a college doing graphic design and photography!
I offer sessions for weddings, couples, families, maternity, and seniors. My goal is to make sure you have a great time during our session, so expect me to chat and crack some jokes to keep things light and fun! :D

Evan and I picked Lori to photograph our wedding after we attended a friend’s wedding that she photographed. We had heard such good things about her and loved the pictures from that wedding… and she did not disappoint when it came to our wedding! We have only met Lori twice in our lives but I feel as though we have known her forever. Lori captured our day perfectly and made us feel super comfortable in front of the camera! We are so in love with our pictures, they could not have turned out better! She was the perfect photographer for us to capture our special day!

We had an amazing experience with Lori as our family photographer! With two very active toddlers, I was nervous about how the session would go, but Lori was incredibly patient and understanding. She worked so well with our little ones, keeping them engaged and capturing their personalities beautifully.
Lori was also flexible with scheduling, which made coordinating a family session so much easier. From the first inquiry to receiving our final gallery, her communication was excellent. She kept me informed every step of the way and answered all my questions promptly.
I was blown away by how quickly Lori turned around our gallery—such a quick and seamless process! The photos exceeded all my expectations; her talent truly shines through every image.
We’re so thrilled with how the photos turned out, and Lori will definitely be our go-to photographer for all future family sessions. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful experience with Lori! She was very professional and thorough but made us feel so comfortable. We just had so much fun! She did an awesome job of keeping the balance of giving us ways to pose and just letting us be ourselves. The pictures were beautiful and bright. We can’t wait to use them for our wedding guestbook and will treasure them for years to come! Lori works with you and your needs, keeps Christ at the center, and creates fantastic experiences and photos—we recommend Lori 100%!

We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photographer! From start to finish, Lori was an absolute joy to work with—funny, sweet, and incredibly talented. Her humor kept us relaxed during what could have been stressful moments, and made everyone feel at ease in front of the camera.
The photos were so beautiful! Lori has an amazing eye for detail and captured every special moment perfectly. Looking through the pictures feels like reliving the day all over again, and we’ll treasure them forever. 🥹
If you’re looking for a photographer who will go above and beyond to make your day memorable, look no further. I highly, highly recommend Canon Shots. 🥰🥰

Our Christmas photo shoot with Lori was fantastic! She is wonderful to work with - so patient and kind. Her attention to detail was evident from the very first camera shot. She got so many amazing shots/angles during the photo shoot making it so hard to choose which ones to go on our Christmas card this year!! She even agreed to having our pup, Jax, join in the photo fun! We can’t wait for next year!
