Right now you’re sitting there wondering, “Is this it? Will this be the thing?”
You’ve spent a lot of money in search of things that are “Different”, usually falling short when you pull up next to someone driving the same exact car, or wearing the same exact dress, or having everything you have.
We all have an inherent desire to stand out and get noticed, and we all have an innate need to be appreciated by others.
So, how did NBA Champion, Tyson Chandler and his wife Kimberly, find appreciation and how can you stand out and be appreciated too?
Up until now, you’ve been looking for “things” to fulfill your inherent desires and innate needs when EVERYTHING that makes you unique and different is YOU.
Your problem isn’t “finding” something different, it’s finding a way to show, or express your difference.
Creatively Different Family Portraits
Because family portraits have always been excruciatingly boring, you’ve likely never considered them a way to get noticed or be appreciated.
After all, you’re just sitting there in a line, all dressed alike, and faking your best smile for the camera, right?
Well, the days of boring family portraits are gone, and I want to show you how Tyson and Kimberly Chandler found what you’re looking for through a Creative Family Portrait that’s different.
One of the first questions I asked Tyson and Kimberly, and I will ask you too, is why they chose a Creative Family Portrait by Jason Ulsrud over the easier, less expensive option of getting a boring portrait.
“Because I want something Different!” Kimberly replied. “Something that will tell our families fun story.”
Whether you just want a family portrait that’s different, you want to capture this fun time of your lives, or you want family bragging rights, to make sure your Creative Family Portrait is uniquely different, we start with designing your story.
It Start’s With a Story
Portraits with people just standing or aimlessly frolicking through a field is boring, and unless you’re a frequent frolicker of fields or a street performer who specializes in just standing still, these boring portraits don’t tell much of a story.
That’s why your Creative Family Portrait, like Tyson and Kimberly’s portrait, will begin with us designing your story during our Discovery Session.
Once we’ve set the scene for your family portrait, designed out your portrait storyline, and developed each of your character’s personalities, we create a rough Concept Sketch for you to see.
As a feature film uses a storyboard to design the movie storyline, we use your Concept Sketch to design your portrait story.
Your Puzzling Story
Unlike most boring portraits that use one picture to record you standing or frolicking, we use many, many images pieced together like a puzzle to create your amazing story.
For Tyson and Kimberly Chandler’s portrait, we used 72 separate images puzzled together.

More than a Photo
While boring portraits are simply a photo that’s been lightly manipulated, your Creative Family Portraits are much more than a Photo.
In fact, the real creative work begins after your photos have been done.
If I had only taken ONE photo of Tyson Chandler’s house, you can see how boring the scene would have turned out.
That’s a Wrap
As you can see with Tyson and Kimberly Chandler’s family portrait, a lot of planning and hard work went into creating their uniquely special portrait, which is why their portrait is different from anything anyone else will ever have.
Now, you may be thinking, “Yeah, but it’s Tyson Chandler and of course, their family portrait is going to be different.”
Here’s the thing…
Regardless of who you are, celebrity or not, your Creative Family Portrait will get the same amount of attention to story and detail, making it uniquely different from everyone else.
I did not know THAT THIS WAS TYSON CHANDLER
Ha! The one and only. Super fun project of a super fun family.
