About ArtChick®

Kristine Di Grigoli Paige is a commercial photographer, director, and founder of ArtChick® Studio — based in Philadelphia, working in New York, and available nationally and worldwide.

With 20+ years behind the lens, Kristine specializes in fashion campaigns, beauty editorials, and brand lookbooks for social, web, and print. She directs stills and motion, leads full productions, and created the Motion Comp Card™ — cinematic short-form video for model portfolios and brand content.

Her career started in the nightclubs. In the early 2000s she was the in-house photographer at Joey Harrisons Surf Club and Bliss Lounge, shooting over 100 celebrities across Philadelphia's hottest venues — Lady Gaga before the record deal, Grandmaster Flash, Ghastly. Her work ran in DJ Times Magazine and Fiesta Caliente. She was one of the first nightclub photographers to shoot on DSLR, and she understood immediately 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 it forward.

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 commissioning permanent archival portraits across successive administrations. View portraits

Meet My Dog Nina

When I’m not behind the camera, you might find me with Nina, my rescue dog and occasional on-set model—she’s the heart of my studio and brings joy to every shoot.
