Goddess #BodyLove Charity Calendar 2023

Patrick Falaniko • 21 September 2022
Calling all Goddesses, let’s #hashtag the heck out of this year’s calendar shoot theme #bodylove 
Join us on the 8th and 9th October. 
A message of celebration of our diverse and individual beauty and worthiness, and a joyful shared experience for all involved.
👑
We have 14 shoot spots to fill spread over two days. looking for a minimum of 14 to maximum of up to 20 women to get involved. 👑
On the day. Bring a hand painted #bodylove message, get as creative as you like, add flowers or sparkles, whatever you fancy. (I will have some paint and paper on hand for those who forget, or you can use one of my pre created messages.)
Spots are shoot starting times (we will do our best to stick to them, if you want to do your hair and make up at the studio please arrive sufficiently early, I recommend at least an hour). People will be on hand to assist.
👑
#createonelongmessage or #yourfavourite short ones, it can be fun or meaningful to you, so each calendar month is full new positive, goddessy, beautiful messages. 
👑
This is implied noodles. So you don’t have to be naked. It’s a celebration first and foremost. In fact we encourage not just solo sessions for this, but pairs of friends, mothers, daughters and grand mums. If anything like last year it will be be a fun and eventful day :).
👑
Phone it in 👍 If you live too far away you can still share in the fun. Just write a message (Fancy or simple marker pen and pad or just write on yourself) find a suitable background and a phone, snap a selfie, post, share (tag me so I see it) and/or send it to me. The style of the calendar will be Diary/Journalling/Scrapbooking so If I can fit it in I will.
👑
I will save the written signs, and images for reels and for the art exhibition in March 2023.
The art show themes also include uplifting each other, friendship and connection, so any behind the scenes together will be fab too. Yay let’s get creative. Share your #sensualityisforeverybody selfie messages on social media and tag me 😊 And I'll repost 👍
(professional hair and makeup. It's not required for this project, however if you want to book a professional hair and makeup artist, you'll need 90 minutes before your shoot time starts, one can be arranged for £90, must be prepaid, speak to me)

Our unedited boudoir photography gallery is our most popular package add-on! Women love having a record of their day pre-edit. Honestly, some days I feel like I could be a completely Photoshop-free photographer—especially when it comes to body love photography.

One thing people don’t always realise about boudoir sessions? They are not all serious affairs. There is a LOT of laughing, unexpected moments, and the very rare wardrobe situations. They are celebrations of you, and especially birthdays, often there’s cake and balloons and the occasional glass of Prosecco too.

We always love it when clients share their stories and experiences. "I couldn't have been happier with my photoshoot experience, and I highly recommend working with Patrick. From the moment I arrived, he created a comfortable environment and took the time to understand what I wanted from the session.

Reaching your 40s is a powerful milestone, often bringing with it a deeper sense of confidence and freedom. If you’re a woman embracing this era of your life, a boudoir and nude photography session can be the perfect way to celebrate who you are—bold, assured, and unapologetically yourself. (The images above are just a selection of women in their 40s, 50s & 60s who have graced our lens) Owning Your Power By the time you hit your 40s, you know what you want and what truly matters. Whether you’re exploring sensuality in a new way or simply feeling more comfortable in your own skin, one thing is clear—women only grow stronger with time. Boudoir nude photography offers a beautiful way to express your confidence, sensuality, and joy in a space that is entirely yours. Our home-based London boudoir studio provides a relaxed, intimate setting where you can explore your unique beauty with ease. Whether you’re drawn to a classic boudoir session, an artistic nude photoshoot, or something with an erotic or spicier vibe, every session is tailored to reflect you. Your Body, Your Rules We believe that beauty and sensuality have no expiration date. Whether you’re posing in lingerie or embracing the power of nude photography boudoir, your experience is about celebrating yourself on your own terms. Our very first clients were women over 40—some in their 50s and 60s—who set the tone for everything we do. Their confidence and self-expression have even inspired a new generation, with our under-30 client base growing as well. You never know who you might inspire simply by owning your moment. Women over 40 have featured extensively in our Body Love group days and charity calendar shoots, stepping into their power in every way. From elegant boudoir portraits to bold nude and erotic photography, this is about you—your story, your beauty, your rules.

Whether you’re stepping into a nude erotic photoshoot for the first time or continuing a sensual journey of self-expression, we’re here to capture the confident, radiant woman that you are today. Let’s Create Something Beautiful Together We have become known for beautiful studio nude photography, but what truly sets us apart is the personal connection we build with each client. This isn’t just about creating stunning images—it’s about creating an experience that leaves you feeling strong, radiant, and truly seen. Ready to book your own boudoir and nude photography session?

Motherhood is an incredible journey, but it’s easy to lose touch with your own sense of self in the midst of caring for your family. If you’re a mum looking to reconnect with your body and reclaim your confidence, a boudoir photoshoot could be the perfect way to do just that. Rediscovering Your Sensuality At our home-based London boudoir studio, we offer a personal, welcoming space where you can rediscover your sensuality on your own terms.

This experience is about more than just photos—it’s about reclaiming your body, your confidence, and your sense of self.

Your 20s are a time of exploration, self-discovery, and making memories that last a lifetime. As you embrace this vibrant period of your life, what better way to capture your confidence and sensuality than with a boudoir shoot? One caveat here, we get many young women who want to explore modelling. Boudoir is not lingerie modelling, fashion or glamour modelling, at least as far as we and our clients are concerned it is intimate and sensual form of self expression. If modelling is your goal, we can discuss and provide you with the appropriate package. Right! let's get back to boudoir photography sessions :)

Every so often when the need arises (or when an ambassador retires) I'll put out a discounted ambassador/model call. In this particular case the super enthusiastic whirlwind that is Lucy answered the call, and she's never looked back. A few boudoir photo session or three and quite a few artistic nude images later. Like many of our Ambassadors that came in for a taster session, she's stuck around and has featured many times. This is her story in her own words. There will never be enough words of praise, admiration or gratitude for Patrick and his studio! I have been an ambassador for Goddess Studio for 2 1/2 years and it has been one of the best decisions I have ever made and one that I never questioned from the moment the opportunity arose.
