About ArtChick®

ArtChick® Studio is led by commercial photographer, director, and founder Kristine Paige — based in Philadelphia, working in New York, and available nationally and worldwide.

With 20+ years behind the lens, the studio specializes in fashion campaigns, beauty editorials, and brand lookbooks for social, web, and print. Kristine directs both still photography and video, leading full commercial productions from concept to delivery.

The studio also offers portrait photography in Philadelphia, including business headshots, model and actor portfolios, and personal branding photography for entrepreneurs. Sessions can combine portraits with short-form video to create content for professional websites, social media, casting submissions, and business marketing.

Her career started in the nightclubs. In the early 2000s, she served as the in-house photographer at Joey Harrison’s Surf Club and Bliss Lounge, capturing nightlife and more than 100 celebrities across the Philadelphia area and beyond — including Lady Gaga before her record deal, Grandmaster Flash, and Ghastly. Her work appeared in DJ Times Magazine and Fiesta Caliente. As one of the first nightclub photographers to shoot on DSLR, she recognized that Photoshop was the new darkroom.

In 2011, Joe Chielli — founder of Church Street Studios — recognized her commercial instincts and brought her into his world. He taught her the business. When he passed in 2017, she carried that legacy forward through her studio.

Since 2012, Kristine has served as the official portrait photographer for the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania — documenting historic investitures and creating permanent archival portraits across successive administrations.

ArtChick® is a registered trademark. Nationwide ship-to-studio photography is available for apparel and product brands, allowing clients to send clothing, jewelry, and products to the Philadelphia studio for professional photography and short-form video.
