Terry Richardson is a prick, but when did Obama have a personal photographer? The closest thing would be Pete DeSouza who was the official White House photographer during Obama's term in office.
Richardson was hired by Vibe magazine to shoot for this issue back in 2007. Issue came out in September so the shoot was probably around June 2007.

Did he shoot for him afterwards? The stuff I heard about Richardson came out later.
Either way. Obama didn't hire Richardson, the magazine did.
