Melanie and Ben Hess are a wife and husband team who both earned BAs in theatre arts studies, with an emphasis in stage management. Now, after you’ve rolled your eyes and said, “Theatre people...” to yourself in an exasperated tone, let us explain. Stage managers provide the needed communication and organization to prepare a show for performance, and bear responsibility for maintaining the show’s artistic integrity through its run. While we do fancy ourselves creative types, we are used to being the left-brained people in the right-brained room.
Melanie has made a living as an organizer in marketing departments at two different billion-dollar companies. She’s spent the last 10 years as a photo archivist, has worked with countless photographers and work flows and, believe it or not, loves the tedious stuff most photographers hate.
Ben found he missed college, and went back to earn a master of public administration. After four years of managing a multi-million dollar budget and talking down the occasional angry parent at his day job, he's well-prepared to help with your administrative needs.
We live in Utah, and love to work with local clients because it gives us the opportunity to see their process first hand, and eliminates the need for costly shipping for exchanging hard drives, packaging materials, and prints. We love clients from any state, but we're especially fond of our local photographers.
