A Christmas Gift Guide

In recent years, Christmas has become a festivity celebrated by many (doesn’t matter what race or religion you are). I mean, who doesn’t love gifts? It’s the season of gifting! But gift shopping can be stressful (we know), and most of us don’t have the luxury of time to go out and shop for them. Fret not, we live in a digital world where everything, including gift shopping, can be at your fingertips. So here’s a list of Christmas gift ideas for young families that we’ve compiled for you busy bees, which you can get by heading to their website or dropping them a quick message. These are all Malaysian-owned brands, so you’ll be supporting another family or small business by buying from them!

The Kraft Store

The Kraft Store offers beautiful and essential handpicked goods such as bath towels, toys, feeding accessories, and books for your little ones. They have a good selection to choose from, so go check out their website to place your order.

The Flight of Imagination

Together with makchic, we have created an endearing photo storybook experience that combines professional photos of your family taken by Stories, whimsical illustrations by Munsya Rahman, and a heartwarming story by makchic’s Kimberly Lee about the power of creativity and the joy of creating moments and memories. Created for children between the ages 3-8, this book will become a family heirloom worth treasuring. Don’t miss out on our current promotion we’re running for this (ends 31st December 2023).

Dough Little

Dough Little playdough kits are safe to play by children starting the age of 1. Their playdough boxes and kits are based on open-ended play concepts, whereby there aren’t definitive instructions and expectations while the child is at play. Children are encouraged to explore each box and create something amazing within the given theme (examples: create habitats, food, characters, vehicles etc).

2023 Year End Reflections

We don’t remember days, we remember moments.

This quote is at the forefront of our Stories’ Lifestyle website and is one that speaks deeply to our team. At the core of it, our job has been to immortalise your happy moments through photographs and videos. This year we went beyond that by engaging with community and creating experiences for families to make new and unique memories together.

Here’s some of the moments we remember from this year!

Engaging with community at the Ibu and Makchic Events

We were happy to be invited to both events held by Ibu and Makchic this year, two organisations whose work we love dearly. At the events we created a mobile studio setup and took complimentary family photos. It was really nice to be able to give the event goers a little momento to bring home with them and to give some families who may not have stepped into a studio a chance for a professionally taken family photo!

Father’s Day Beach Adventure

We worked with educational program organiser Mad About Education (“MAE”) to create a unique Father’s Day experience where families spent a morning in Pantai Kelanang where we engaged in some play activities, explored mangroves and of course, took family photos! The event was such a success we got requests for similar experiences immediately. (Psst.. we’re in the midst of planning more of these, so stay tuned!)



The Flight of Imagination

And finally.. our proudest creation of the year! I’m sure you’ve heard of personalised children’s book where the text is changed to reflect the child’s name. Together with the team at Makchic, author Kimberly Lee and illustrator Munsya Rahman, we created a one of its kind personalised photo storybook experience where not only are the names personalised, so are the pictures in the book – replaced with photos of your own family. The process in taking the photos and having them be a part of a book, not to mentioned to actual unboxing and seeing your images will be an experience your family will treasure forever!

Looking back, we are so proud to have all of you along for the ride as we continue to create memories worth making. We look forward to seeing all of you again in 2024!

Our Studio is Open

Dear faithful readers, past clients, supporters, and friends, 

Spending the past one and a half months in uncertainty and adjusting to a new normal has not been easy for everyone. We’ve been thinking of all those who are greatly affected, and our hearts and prayers go out to them as we go through this challenging time together. 

As for our business, many photo shoots were cancelled with almost no new bookings for the rest of the year to follow. Scary times for us for sure. But understandably, it’s because of the nature of our business and the fact that personal health and safety among our clients and our staff is priority. 

Meanwhile our team (Chi Yin, Abel, Sarah, Wai Teng, and myself – Grace) continues to keep our spirits up by encouraging each other. Many of us are learning new things and expanding our skillset. We’re also keeping the conversation going on social media by sharing our favourite photo collections from before – something to remind us all to smile and appreciate our loved ones even when we’re stuck with them 24/7! 

Another encouraging note to add this week is the announcement of the Conditional Movement Control Order. With that, we are ready to open our studio and photography services again but following certain conditions. We will ensure health and safety measures are in place according to the Malaysian government’s advice and this how we will be operating:

Introducing Stories for Business

Since our company, Integricity Visuals Sdn Bhd was incorporated in 2008, we have used this name for all our corporate work, including separating our commercial photography and video production from our personal lifestyle photography work. However, to many of you, we were simply known as the Stories team because of our lifestyle photography brand, Stories.my that grew to be a household name in the area of family, maternity and wedding photography.

After much deliberation, we have decided to consolidate and create a simpler brand experience for everyone. As of 2020, our corporate brand under Integricity Visuals is now known as Stories for Business. Our lifestyle photography work will still continue to exist as Stories Lifestyle.

Thank you for being part of our journey all these years!
