Sweat Tour box office line: Los Angeles, night 2 / October 23, 2024 by Liz Brown

I’m writing this on the Amtrak back to Chicago from Los Angeles. It’s been a strange and long and wonderful 60 hours since I left my apartment with only a backpack (thank you, Spirit Airlines). (Actually, I snuck my fanny pack onto the plane under my sweater, but they don’t need to know that.) As soon as I landed, I took a bus to a coffee shop for a breakfast sandwich and 6 shots of espresso, then another bus to Kia Forum, where I queued for a grand total of 6 hours, with the hope of getting box-office-released tickets. (Spoiler alert: we did!)

The first photo is of the girlies I spent the day in line with; after spending such a long time together, we decided to get seats together, too, to continue our fun evening. We split up to quickly change, Carleigh and I getting ready in the Von bathroom and snagging a few snacks to eat on our walk back. Something about a grody grocery store bathroom as the prequel for our evening felt very brat.

I have exciting news! As I write this, I’m sitting on one of those sideways bench-couches on a bandwagon with the Plain White T’s. We’re almost to Indianapolis.

Abby and I met through our job (which shall not be named), but bonded over creativity and goals for the future. As we both take strides in our creative careers, she hired me to take some fun headshots of her!

Hayd: Schuba's, Chicago / February 12, 2024 by Liz Brown

It had been over a year since I’d seen Hayd and John (his photographer) and it was about time!!! So good to see familiar faces, and these fellas are the sweetest. If they’re coming to your city, definitely make a point to see them.

Taylor Swift's The Eras Tour: Taylor-Gating in Denver / September 22, 2023 by Liz Brown

This one was extra special; even from the parking lot, it was one of the best concerts of my life. I hope you can feel it, too.

welcome to the eras tour!

Denver was amazing: one of the longest and best days I’ve ever lived. Thank you so much for your patience as I edited and uploaded these hundreds of photos of your lovely faces and dresses. You are so creative and I wish I could do this every day, forever.
