This moment deserves more than a yearbook photo.
A senior portrait session that captures who you actually are.
Senior year is one of the last times you'll be exactly this person — before the next chapter changes everything. These portraits are for that person.
Every Inkwell senior session begins with a brief conversation: who you are, what you love, and how you want to be seen. That conversation shapes everything — the locations, the energy, the images. The result isn't just a beautiful photo. It's an honest one.
What's Included
Pre-session narrative conversation (so we capture you, not a performance)
90-minute outdoor session
Up to 2 locations in Greater Boston
20 professionally edited digital images
Private online gallery for downloading and sharing
Optional: family add-on (see below)
Senior Portrait Session — $650
Family Add-On — $150 Add 20–30 minutes and include parents, siblings, or the whole family. Includes 5 additional edited images.

A 4-Week Storytelling Experience for College-Bound Students
Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, July 6-July 31st, 2026, 9-12 PM (EST) Via Zoom
Strong students often struggle to talk about themselves.
They’ve done the work.
They’ve had meaningful experiences.
But when it’s time to write an essay or answer a question like “Tell me about yourself,” they freeze, second-guess, or undersell who they are.Most programs focus on what to say.
We focus on helping students understand who they are, so they always know what to say.
What This Is
This is not a writing class.
It’s a storytelling studio.The Hero’s Journey™ Summer Studio is a 4-week, small-group experience where students:
Reflect on their experiences and identify meaningful story moments
Learn how to talk about growth, challenges, and leadership with confidence
Build a collection of personal stories they can use across essays, interviews, and opportunities
Practice expressing themselves clearly—both in writing and out loud
By the end of the program, students don’t just have better writing—they have greater clarity and confidence in who they are.
How It Works
Duration: 4 weeks
Format: Live, online
Cohort Size: Maximum 5 studentsEach session is intentionally structured:
First 45 Minutes: Instruction + Guided Writing
Students learn a focused storytelling concept and begin drafting immediately—with support.
Final 75 Minutes: Individual Coaching
Each student receives personalized, real-time feedback while continuing to write and reflect.
This balance of group learning and individual attention is what makes the experience so effective.
What Students Will Gain
By the end of the 4 weeks, students will have:
A Story Portfolio they can build on throughout high school
3–5 developed personal stories
5–10 additional story ideas
Clear language for their strengths, growth, and interests
Confidence speaking about themselves in interviews and conversations
These are skills that extend beyond college applications—into internships, leadership roles, and early career opportunities.
