Pudding on the Rice

A few weeks ago I got the privilege of photographing the family that owns Pudding on the Rice at Bridgeport.  If you don’t know what Pudding on the Rice is, you need to make a point to get yourself over to Bridgeport Village in the next few days to experience it yourself.  I have been obsessed with their frozen yogurt in the last 6 months, and I go there probably once a week to indulge.  Its sweet and tart all at once, and healthy!  The main part of their store, though, serves about 20 or so different flavors of rice pudding.  The rice pudding I have been much more skeptical of, but to be honest once I actually tried it I was pleasantly surprised!  Its like going to Ben and Jerry’s or for gelato with all the flavors they have, only its rice pudding!  Anyway, since I go in there a lot, I met Jessica, the store owner and master pudding maker.  She is seriously one of the sweetest people in the world.  She approached me a few weeks ago about taking some photos of their family for some new marketing concepts they are trying out.  She wanted fun, vintage, family-picnic style photos as well as some shots around the store of the them and the products.  We did the photos over two different afternoons.  This was SO much fun!  I just love the vintage look of the ones we did at the Rose Garden.  Jessica’s two little kiddos were great at modeling as well, and we got some fun ones of little Josephine running around in a pettiskirt at the end of the shoot.  Here are a bunch of my favorites, and seriously, you need to get to Pudding on the Rice!
