When photographer Callie Shell first met Barack Obama, he was just a state senator years away from his run for president.

But she was an experienced political photographer and knew there was something special about him. When Obama became a US Senator , she photographed him over his first year while also getting to know his family.

Callie became known as the family’s “semi-official private photographer”  and although she turned down the official job in the White House, she was there for his first 100 days.

She has released a book of her photographs along with some of his most famous quotes called “Hope, Never Fear”.

Callie Shell joined Saturday Mornings with Jack Tame to look back on working with the former President of the United States.
