Today on the blog we’re giving a big shout-out and some link love to Lori Isaac Mahon and Stacie Vining of Merge PR. Lori volunteers as Help-Portrait’s publicist and has brought our story to the media in incredible ways.
Lori has been part of Help-Portrait from the beginning. As part of the launch team, Lori has worked tirelessly to get support from the press for Help-Portrait, and each year thereafter. Her passion to help spread the word about this movement is nothing short of remarkable. She’s a major reason Help-Portrait is what it is today. Just this year we were covered on CNN, ABC, Wall Street Journal, Paste magazine, Relevant magazine and many others.
Thanks, Lori, for you love, support, help and professionalism. We appreciate all your efforts to get Help-Portrait more exposure so that we can touch more lives.
I took a pic of an older woman in her late 70’s maybe. on oxygen. we sat her down and took off the oxygen took some shots and sent her to the printer line. With portriat in hand she looked up to the HP volunteer and told her she hasn’t had a picture like this taken since she was in high school. that is what this is all about right there.
Big-up Lori and Stacie! We may be [just] an ocean away, but we value and benefit too from all the great work you have done. Blessings ;-)
