01 | The story

How I got here.

I'm Derek. Marine veteran with a computer science and multimedia background. I shot skateboards and gear for Muir Skate in San Diego before I ever shot a house: 8 years as the lead product photographer for an online store.

When we moved to Austin, the product work didn't make the trip. In 2017 I started shooting real estate and commercial properties. Agents are everywhere, nothing has to be shipped back, and every house is a new lighting problem. The name came from a "Come and Take It" sign a friend brought me from Buc-ee's. It stuck.

I'm the photographer and videographer on every shoot. That's 5,100+ properties so far, from tiny homes to mansions, apartments, commercial spaces, even a mining company.

Product photography taught me one thing: the light has to be right. A product won't smile for you. Neither will a kitchen. So I light the room instead of hoping the windows cooperate.

I was having a hard time trying to schedule a photographer for a particular listing. After many calls to other companies, Derek did something amazing.... He actually answered his own phone and was able to respond to each question that I had in a timely manner! I was able to schedule the shoot within days and I was not disappointed. Not only was he a pleasure to work with, his work proved to be fantastic! Let's just say one particular shot had me trending in the #1 spot on more than one online platform. I will not be using anyone else for my photography needs!

Derek got in touch with me minutes after I put in a request for a quote. He was very clear to explain how the photoshoot would work and there were no hidden costs. He went above and beyond with the high quality photos he provided. I will absolutely be contacting Come and Shoot It for future photography needs. Highly recommended!
