She gave us some insight from the shoot, and told us a little bit more about herself, so keep reading to find out what makes this lovely lady so unique & special!
Tell our wolfpack a bit about yourself!
My name is Bridget! I'm born and raised in Los Angeles, CA...although, my soul and spirit are from lightyears away!
Growing up I felt like a complete outcast, different, an alien-so grateful I never fit in! No one is me and that's my power!
Through creating space for myself to be my 'best' self. I hope to create space for others to do the same. I'm a yoga teacher/healer/body worker. Through touch, energy, and connection...I hope to heal others. Also, been a performer ever since I spun out of my mama- Lover of acting, singing, dancing[Musical Theatre Performer] I love listening to music, eating, being with animals, experiencing new things and going on spontaneous adventures!( to name a few)
I'm a complete goofball, derp, weirdo, heart so full I don't even know what to do with myself at times and I'm proud! [you should be too :p]

What are you currently working on?
I am currently working on many things...I have difficulty focusing on one thing at once. [it's definitely my ADD/ADHD]
I've been dealing with a lot of unfortunate changes in my life. Going through a lot of emotions, lots of things are coming to the surface. I am working on being more patient with myself, instead of expecting immediate results. I've been writing more poetry and songs, which has been beneficial through my healing recovery time. Expressing myself creatively is such a blessing.
Writing, directing, and starring in my own creation has been a dream of mine for a long time...I hope to make that dream a reality sooner than later!
What's your spirit animal and why?
My spirit animal is a wolf. I've viewed myself as a lone-wolf for as long as I can remember. I'm a wild spirit. I have a strong connection with both my instincts and intuition.
'It’s in my nature to be kind, gentle, and loving, but know this: When it comes to matters of protecting my friend, my family, and my heart, do not trifle with me. For I am also the most powerful and relentless creature you will ever know.'

How was the Vazquez Rocks shoot? The photos came out amazing!
The Vasquez Rocks shoot was so much fun. The location was breathtaking!
I love experiencing a new place, especially with others! I was able to reconnect with a lovely photographer, Haley, whom I've had the pleasure of working with before. Her unique eye and genuine spirit is a blessing! I also was able to both connect and work with a beautifully talented Model; Carly.
Working with a full team of hardworking ladies was a breath of fresh air!
Are you going to any festivals this month?
I will be attending Oregon Eclipse! My first time ever visiting Oregon. Plus, this will be my first official road trip! I may be going back to the playa for my third Burn this year as well...still sorting that out as we speak.
How do you try and stay green while at music festivals?
I always pick up garbage whenever It's visible! If you don't see a trash in sight than carry a plastic bag with you [ in your bag if you'd rather not get your belongings dirty] and stuff the bag inside until trash is accessible! Grateful to know there are other conscious people at these types of festivals!
Goggles + Mandala set = Burning Man ready
Who is your current favorite artist?
My current favorite artist is someone I've recently discovered...stumbled upon her show at the Standard last week.
Lauren Ruth Ward. As a fellow singer/songwriter- she has given me hope, faith, and inspiration
"Buddy, I don't need you I can make love to myself."
If you could go anywhere in the world, where would choose?
If I could go anywhere in the world I'd like to go to Africa. I've been in love ever since I saw my first musical. The Lion King.
In the theme of WCW, is there a certain woman who inspires you most?
My WCW is dedicated to my mother. We've been going through a lot of unfortunate changes recently, and she's given me the strength and courage to carry on! Despite any unfortunate circumstances, she stays true to herself. She motivates me to be the best me I can be, no matter the situation! Thank you MAMA LION! Your cub is forever grateful for you love <3
