Founded by Anna Soccorsi, an FAA Part 107 Certified Remote Pilot with an M.A. in Conservation Ecology from Columbia University, Gaia combines environmental expertise with professional drone technology to create aerial imagery and spatial data that support planning, stewardship, communication, and long-term monitoring.
Whether documenting shoreline change, showcasing a vineyard, monitoring habitat restoration, or capturing the setting of a waterfront property, every project is tailored to the landscape, the client, and the questions being asked.
Our Services
-
Repeatable aerial data collection and documentation for conservation, restoration, and environmental monitoring projects.
Gaia provides technical support for aerial mapping of shorelines, wetlands, dunes, coastal ponds, rivers, forests, and other natural landscapes throughout Long Island and the Northeast. Our imagery helps conservation organizations, municipalities, engineers, environmental consultants, and land trusts document site conditions, monitor change over time, and communicate project outcomes.
-
Professional aerial imagery for landscapes shaped by cultivation, stewardship, and design.
From vineyards and farms to nurseries, estates, and landscape projects, drone imagery provides a broader perspective for documenting seasonal change, showcasing completed work, and communicating the character of a landscape.
Whether you're monitoring vineyard conditions, documenting agricultural fields, capturing landscape installations, or creating visual content for clients, Gaia delivers imagery that combines technical quality with thoughtful composition.
-
Professional aerial photography that highlights a property's setting, landscape, and unique character from above.
Aerial imagery helps buyers understand more than just a home—it reveals its relationship to the surrounding landscape, waterfront, neighborhood, and outdoor spaces. Gaia provides high-resolution drone photography for residential listings, estates, waterfront homes, new construction, and development projects across Long Island.
Every project is customized to meet your goals. Depending on the scope of work, deliverables may include:
