portrait and lifestyle PHOTOGRAPHy BY Ben watts

Welcome to WattsCaptured! I’m a Maine-based photographer and filmmaker, and I believe you deserve more than just a cookie-cutter photography experience. You deserve to be treated like the individual you are, not just another client in line. I want to tailor an experience that’s exclusive to you, whether you're into artistic flair or the timelessness of traditional photos. If you just want to relax and are looking for a more candid, laid-back style, I’m here for that too.

You’re looking for a photographer who:

  • Shares your creative vision

  • Works with you upfront to make sure your ideas are delivered

  • Makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera, even if you’re not used to it

  • Will go on that hike to the mountain or hidden beach to get the shots you want

  • Isn’t afraid to throw out conventions for a unique experience

“Ben did an amazing job with our senior portrait session. Flexible, creative, and provides a natural easy environment - our pictures turned out fantastic. He accommodated our schedule, traveled, and allowed us to have a variety of outfits and settings!”

- Jill G.

“A lot of photographers will tell you to smile. ‘Put your chin up, pretend like you’re laughing, look at each other,’ this is how a photoshoot works. But when your photographer gives you creative rights, you can express yourself in a way that is most natural. Thank you for letting her be exactly who she is.” -Laury S.

“Ben made us feel super comfortable throughout the photo shoot and we felt like he really wanted to do his best to get the right shots for us. The photos came out amazing and I'm so glad we have this time in our lives captured.” -Brooke M.
