Bay and creek waterfront.

Down here, how the water is reached matters: a bay view from a cliff, a private pier on a creek or a short walk to a community beach. We photograph exactly what the property has, including the pier, the lift and the view from inside, and never stretch a view to look closer than it is. Waterfront at sunset is worth a real twilight ($250).

Navy moves at Pax River.

Homes near the base often sell on military move timelines, to buyers who can't visit first. A 3D tour and a floor plan ($125) let them shortlist from anywhere, and photos within 24 hours keep the listing on schedule.

Drone photography in Southern Maryland.

Southern Maryland is outside the DC rings, and our booking check shows Prince Frederick clears every ring in our airspace check and Solomons clears every ring in our airspace check. The big exception our check doesn't model is NAS Patuxent River: the airspace around Lexington Park is controlled by the Navy, so near the base the pilot coordinates the authorization before shoot day; book those addresses a few business days ahead.

Our airspace check, place by place. Drone is available at every one of them. Clear of every ring: Chesapeake Beach, North Beach, Prince Frederick, Solomons, Lexington Park and Leonardtown. Every address is checked when you book, and the pilot runs B4UFLY and LAANC on the day of every flight.

    Southern Maryland questions.

    Can you fly a drone near Pax River?

    Yes. The Navy controls the airspace around the base, so the pilot gets the authorization the flight needs before confirming; book a few business days ahead. Away from the base, like Prince Frederick, there's no extra lead time. Every address is checked when you book.

    Do you shoot piers, lifts and bay views?

    Yes. They're often the most important photos in a Southern Maryland listing.

    How long does it take to get there?

    About an hour and a quarter to Calvert and up to an hour and three quarters to St. Mary's, via US 301 or the Wilson Bridge.

    Is there a travel fee to Calvert or St. Mary's?

    No. Both counties are inside our no-travel-fee area.
