Beautiful photos! I enjoyed reading some of the “behind the scenes” stories that were mixed in with the photos. Imagine all the things you‘d experience as an official White House Photographer! My favorite was a photo of the First Lady riding in a toboggan at the Great Wall of China...her photographer had to be one of the first down in order to snap photos and said even the secret service agents rode down in their suits 🤣

How cute is this photo? And how cool would it be to be a White House Photographer as a job!?

When I titled my own project, CHASING PORTRAITS, I had no idea how many books and films use the word “Chasing” in their title. If you search for my book on Amazon (but buy it from an independent bookseller!) I discovered CHASING LIGHT.I❤️ the Pete Souza Instagram feed, but what a delight to discover that Michelle Obama had her own fabulous photographer. This is a beautiful book,& I‘m not just saying that because CHASING is in the title #mothersday

EchoLogical @riversong153 I don't think we'll have another FLOTUS like her again so this book will definitely be added to my collection to remember the good old days. 😭 6y
