Poppy Creative is a creative partner for brands, agencies, and publications working in interiors, food and beverage, hospitality, and lifestyle. We connect you with the right photographers and stylists, and we make sure the work actually gets made. That means curated talent recommendations, full production support, and someone in the room who has already solved the problems you don't know you have yet.
For the artists we work with, we're something different entirely. Not a traditional agency, but a strategic partner who shows up every month, opens new doors, and steps in as advocate, negotiator, and producer when a project needs it.
We're not a traditional agency. We never really were. And we think that makes the work better.

Traci Terrick
THE GENEROUS INSIDER
Her superpower:
Seeing exactly who you are — and exactly who you need
Traci Terrick founded Poppy Creative after 20+ years in commercial photography and production — representing artists, running shoots, and watching the industry change in ways the traditional agency model never quite kept up with.
That gap is what Poppy was built to fill. Not just connecting talent with brands, but doing it with transparency, longevity, and genuine investment in the people doing the work.
In 2018 she launched Artist to Watch, a six-month coaching program for photographers and stylists ready to build sustainable commercial careers. What started as a mentorship initiative ended up reshaping how she thinks about representation entirely. Ten+ cohorts later, it's still running.
That same year she co-founded Focus on Women, a national community for female-identifying creatives in commercial photography — because the industry works better when more people have a seat at the table.
If you're a client, you'll work with someone who anticipates problems before they surface and brings the right people to every project. If you're an artist, you'll work with someone who actually wants to see you win.
Either way, you're in the right place.
