Family and Lifestyle

Photography Services

Life is made up of moments we want to remember—time with family, celebrations with friends, quiet milestones, and the adventures that bring us together. These stories are captured through a blend of aerial drone photography (exterior) and still camera photography (interior and exterior when needed), creating a natural and meaningful way to preserve life as it’s lived.

Based in Lake City, Minnesota, Mama Drone LLC serves southeastern Minnesota and western Wisconsin with storytelling-driven imagery that captures life from the ground to the sky.

Drone Safety

  • FAA Certified & Insured -

    All aerial work is conducted by an FAA Part 107 Certified UAS Drone Pilot and follows federal aviation safety regulations.

    Mama Drone LLC is fully insured and maintains a clean safety record.

  • Flying Drones Near People and Crowds-

    Even though it is possible to meet safety specifications for certain crowded environments, I voluntarily choose not to fly directly over crowds, spectators, or guests. I prioritize safety and privacy, capturing high-angle shots from a respectful distance.

  • Weather Policy -

    Drone photography is weather dependent and always prioritized with safety in mind. Conditions such as high winds, rain, lightning, or low visibility may limit or prevent aerial coverage during portions of your event. When possible, we will work together to adjust timing or capture alternative imagery to ensure your event is still thoughtfully documented. If non-event related, we may consider rescheduling your drone photography session at no additional cost.
