About Grace Creatives

it is my mission

To serve, document, and produce creatives that remain in peoples’ hearts and homes forever.

Each moment should be acknowledged as something to be grateful for in life’s grand adventure. Whether this may be a giggle shared between a mother and her child, a beautiful moment from past loved ones, or an afternoon spent baking with the person you want to spend your life with; I want to be able to cherish those moments with you and honor the days that we have been given as gifts.

hi there!

My name is Alison (Grace) Kroening. I am the owner and lead photographer with Grace Creatives photography based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

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 and establish roots back in the midwest. It was during this transition that I finally took the leap to pursue photography full-time.

We’ll love working together if:

  • You appreciate and desire natural-colored, true-to-light photographs.

  • You’re cool with a photographer who isn’t afraid to exclaim excitement and say “Ah! Oh my goodness, I love that” throughout your day.

  • You intend on being a little more organized upfront in order to plan a laid back wedding day.
