This was just announced on Google News:

"BOSTON?President-elect Barack Obama has tapped a Massachusetts native 
and Boston University alumnus to be the next official White House 
photographer.

Former Chicago Tribune photographer Pete Souza will be in charge of 
visually documenting Obama's administration.

Souza most recently has been teaching photojournalism at Ohio 
University's School of Visual Communication. His latest book is "The 
Rise of Barack Obama" and was published in July 2008.

Souza extensively documented Obama's first year in the Senate and 
accompanied the Democrat to seven countries including Kenya, South 
Africa and Russia.

The native of South Dartmouth is no stranger to the White House. He also 
served as Ronald Reagan's photographer."

I think this is a good choice!
