About Us
Beautiful Things Happen When You Stop Waiting
Not 20 pounds from now. Not when life slows down. Not someday. Right. Now.
Olive & Iris Boudoir is a boutique photography studio tucked into Lebanon, OH — and we are on a mission to show every woman in Southwest Ohio exactly how breathtaking she already is. Our style is subtly sensual, elegantly understated, and — let’s be honest — a little bit showstopping.
Whether you’re a blushing bride, a birthday queen, a newly single woman reclaiming her throne, or someone who just decided today is the day — we’ve got you. Our all-female team will style, guide, and hype you up every single step of the way.
This isn’t just a photo session. It’s the thing you’ll look back on and say: ‘That was one of the best days of my life.’
Who Books Boudoir?
Spoiler: Women Exactly Like You
We get it — boudoir photography sounds a little intimidating until you realize it’s basically the most fun you’ve ever had in a studio. Our clients are real women from all walks of life: Dayton teachers, Cincinnati moms, Springboro brides, Middletown bosses, and everyone in between.
Women book with us when they’re:
- Getting married and want the ultimate gift for their partner (or themselves, honestly)
- Celebrating a milestone birthday — 30s, 40s, 50s, and every decade is a vibe
- Reclaiming confidence after divorce, weight loss, or a major life change
- Just… ready. No other reason needed.
- Dragging their best friend along because everything is better with your ride-or-die
If you’ve been waiting for a sign — this is it, babe.

Meet Cara
The Woman Behind the Magic
Cara Jonas isn’t just a photographer — she’s an award-winning, internationally published artist who built a career around one belief: every single woman deserves to see herself the way people who love her already do.
After years in corporate America (yes, she has the business degree to prove it), Cara traded the boardroom for the studio and never looked back. Today she leads Olive & Iris Boudoir from her Ohio studio — creating images that are as classy as they are confidence-shattering.
She’s also a speaker, an educator, and the kind of photographer who will make you feel like the most gorgeous person alive within the first five minutes of your session. Fair warning: you might cry. Happy tears only.
