These aren't just pictures. They are the moments that get us through deployments. They are the pride of a career. They are the memories we hold onto. As a sailor, it is my privilege to preserve these moments for your family.

— Jacob Baker

Jacob Baker / Owner


I founded Portcall Productions on a simple, powerful truth I've learned from my own service: some moments only happen once.

I know the feeling of that last, tight hug before a deployment. I know the overwhelming joy of that first homecoming kiss on the pier. I know what it means to look at a photo months later and have it bring that entire feeling rushing back. 


My "portcall" is my mission. I created this business to be the photographer for our community who gets it. I understand the traditions, I know the locations, and I am prepared for the "hurry up and wait" that defines our lives.


When you hire Portcall Productions, you're not just hiring a photographer. You're hiring a fellow service member who is honored to be trusted with your family's most important memories.

Our Photography Services


Portcall Productions is not a "do-it-all" photography company. We are a specialized service focused exclusively on the unique milestones of our San Diego military community. You won't see us shooting weddings or corporate headshots ; our entire focus is on you. 

Our expertise is in capturing the moments that define a life of service:


  • Military Homecomings & Deployments: From the electric anticipation on the pier to the quiet, priceless moments of a pre-deployment family session, we capture the emotions that only service members and their families truly understand. 
  • Military Milestones: We are experts in covering the full honor, tradition, and pride of Change of Command ceremonies, promotions, and retirements. 
  • Military & Family Portraits: We create powerful, lasting images that celebrate your service, including "Last Flight" sessions and family portraits that incorporate your career.
