Hi There!
My name is Alison (Grace) Kroening. I am the owner and lead photographer with Grace Creatives photography based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
At heart, I am an adventure enthusiast and lover of simplicity. Most days I am Inspired by serving others and being mesmerized by God’s marvelous creation. As a young child, I flipped through photo albums every couple of months just to relish in the memories that had been collected. This love of photography followed me throughout high school and college. During this time, I took full pleasure in the phrase “oh wait, Alie has to take a photo.”
After graduating from college in 2012, I got married, moved to Colorado, and started working as a full-time elementary school teacher. Although I loved forming relationships with students and leading them to fulfill their highest potential, I often dreamed about working for myself and becoming a full-time photographer. During my free time and on the weekends, I would work with friends and acquaintances to document their engagement photos, maternity photos, and family photos.
At the beginning of 2019, my husband was offered a new position in Milwaukee and we decided to move/establish roots back in the midwest. It was during this transition that I finally took the leap and pursue photography full-time.
