History

Established in 1974.

The Hills started their firm in 1974 by combining their respective talents. Ted Hill, CEO, was a photographer and sound and set designer in Hollywood who specialized in filming celebrities before moving to Scottsdale.

His wife, an Arizona State University liberal arts graduate, worked in various art galleries in Scottsdale and the Valley. Her husband opened his first photo studio in a small shop in Old Town Scottsdale next to a blacksmith’s shop.

They married, combined their experiences and eventually moved into a nearby, 8,000-square-foot building.

Today, the Merestone, an Old English word used to describe a landmark, has 55 full-​time employees, 175 independent contractors and works with corporations throughout the United States and the world.
