Grace Tan
Hi, I’m Grace and I’m a lifestyle photographer, founder of Stories and life coach. I love telling stories visually, but especially so when it makes a difference in someone’s life. When my dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s the year I got married in 2006, I realised that images have the power to recall good times. He used to laugh and reminisce as he flipped through old photos in albums. Now, as a mom to two young kids, I realise that time passes us by so quickly and I just want to remember every single detail.
Years ago, I worked in the Malaysian film and television industry but discovered my passion in photography in 2006. In 2008, Stories Sdn Bhd (formerly Integricity Visuals Sdn Bhd) was formed to provide photography and video production services to businesses and individuals. I provide personal and commercial photography, video production services and coaching for individuals, families and entrepreneurs. I organize events and workshops related to marriage, parenting, achieving your dream life, photography and visual branding.
My approach to work has always been to tell a story. I believe images have the power to connect people, and help them remember happy moments in their lives. This is why I do what I do.
Other than running after my own children and other people’s children, I am also passionate about building strong marriages and advocating purposeful parenting through my other brand, Comma: Rethink Life. In 2020, I achieved two milestones – firstly, to be named as Canon EOS ambassador and secondly, getting certified as a coach under the International Coaching Federation (ICF), achieving my dream of becoming a life coach.
