Her daughter, Brooke, posted the response to Twitter.

I can't believe it's been a YEAR since this happened! 😆😆😆😆 Jeff and I were chatting recently about the day we met President Obama and how crazy FUN it was! Over this past year, we've gotten so many questions from photographers about the whole experience - how we handled photographing the President, getting the images to go viral the next day, and how the exposure ultimately affected our business.
