History and Founding Team:

In 2012 Lindsey Bhenke, Lauren Dorn, Brigid McAuliffe and Erin Preston held the first Picture Me Here project in 2012 in Pingala Kanal's apartment in Aurora, Colorado. The team was inspired to continue the project and PMH became an organization with a 501c3 fiscal sponsor in 2013. Brigid McAuliffe has served as the director since 2013 and PMH became a program under Lighthouse Writers Workshop in 2020.
