Michelle Obama's White House photographer reveals in a new book what being around the former first lady was like

Each administration since President John F. Kennedy has had its own official photographer to document history in the White House.

While Pete Souza was busy documenting the life of President Obama, photographer Amanda Lucidon was following around Michelle, capturing her every move from 2013 until 2017.

Lucidon's new book, "Chasing Light," is more than 200 pages of the former first lady's time in the White House, along with personal accounts from Lucidon herself.

"It was a remarkable experience," Lucidon told Business Insider of her time documenting the first family.

Ahead, a look at some of the best photographs from the book.
