Pete Souza växte upp i South Dartmouth i Massachusetts,[2] som son till en sjuksköterska och en båtmekaniker.[3] Han tog en kandidatexamen i kommunikation på Boston University och en magisterexamen i journalistik på Kansas State University.[2] Han började sin yrkesbana på 1970-talet i Kansas på Chanute Tribune och Hutchinson News.[4] I början av 1980-talet var han fotograf på Chicago Sun-Times.
Därefter var han officiell Vita huset-fotograf för Ronald Reagan mellan juni 1983 och 1989. Efter Reagans presidentperiod fortsatte Souza att arbete i Washington, D.C.. Åren 1998–2007 var han fotograf för Chicago Tribune och var också frilansare för National Geographic och för Life.

År 2004 ombads han av CNN att ta bilder för ett projekt som skulle dokumentera Barack Obamas första år som senator. Han träffade Obama under dennes första dag i Senaten 2005 och följde därefter Obamas arbete där. I juli 2008 publicerades Souzas fotobok The Rise of Barack Obama, med bilder från 2005–2008.[5]

Pete Souza in action, Nobel 2009, Oslo: Souza (with camera second from left), the chief White House photographer, looks toward U.S. president Barack Obama and other dignitaries on the day Obama received the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize.
United States President Barack Obama bends down to allow the son of a White House staff member to touch his head during a family visit to the Oval Office on 8 May 2009. The boy wanted to see if the President's haircut felt like his own. The image has become known as "Hair Like Mine"
From The New York Times, 23 May 2012:
The boy in the picture is Jacob Philadelphia of Columbia, Md. Three years ago this month [in May 2009], his father, Carlton, a former Marine, was leaving the White House staff after a two-year stint on the National Security Council that began in the Bush administration. As departing staff members often do, Mr. Philadelphia asked for a family photograph with Mr. Obama.
When the pictures were taken and the family was about to leave, Mr. Philadelphia told Mr. Obama that his sons each had a question. In interviews, he and his wife, Roseane, said they did not know what the boys would ask. The White House photographer, Pete Souza, was surprised, too, as the photo's awkward composition attests: The parents' heads are cut off; Jacob's arm obscures his face; and his older brother, Isaac, is blurry.
Jacob spoke first.
"I want to know if my hair is just like yours," he told Mr. Obama, so quietly that the president asked him to speak again.
Jacob did, and Mr. Obama replied, "Why don't you touch it and see for yourself?" He lowered his head, level with Jacob, who hesitated.
"Touch it, dude!" Mr. Obama said.
As Jacob patted the presidential crown, Mr. Souza snapped.
"So, what do you think?" Mr. Obama asked.
"Yes, it does feel the same," Jacob said.

Photographer's note:
"Much has been made of this photograph that shows the President and Vice President and the national security team monitoring in real time the mission against Osama bin Laden. Some more background on the photograph: The White House Situation Room is actually comprised of several different conference rooms. The majority of the time, the President convenes meetings in the large conference room with assigned seats. But to monitor this mission, the group moved into the much smaller conference room. The President chose to sit next to Brigadier General Marshall B. “Brad” Webb, Assistant Commanding General of Joint Special Operations Command, who was point man for the communications taking place. With so few chairs, others just stood at the back of the room. I was jammed into a corner of the room with no room to move. During the mission itself, I made approximately 100 photographs, almost all from this cramped spot in the corner. There were several other meetings throughout the day."Författare/Upphovsman: , Licens: CC BY-SA 4.0
