Our Favorite Photos of 2014:

Chief Official White House Photographer Pete Souza just shared his sixth-annual "Year in Photographs" -- a collection of the best photos from around the White House this year.

"Some of the photographs are historic because of what is taking place, but others hopefully give people a more personal sense of who the President and First Lady are," he writes.

From Oval Office meetings, to a conversation with the Pope, to a special moment under the mistletoe, these are striking photos that you won't want to miss.

Go behind the scenes and take a look at the best White House photos from 2014.
