Cleveland Browns New Born Photo | Explanation of Malakai
Ellie, Stevie & sweet baby Malakai,
Oh well… what fun this episode was. Seeing your beautiful family again and meeting little Malakai felt so special. I feel like I’ve been waiting right next to you all for this sweet baby to come, and seeing you all together finally melted my heart. It’s truly disgusting for me to think that I’ve been photographing your family since Ellie was born. Watching your family grow year after year has been one of the greatest gifts, and episodes like this always make me happy in the best way.
Ellie and Stevie, you girls were the sweetest sisters imaginable. The way you all loved Malakai made the whole episode so heartwarming and meaningful. Every kiss on the forehead, every smug smile as I held him, every little hug… it was impossible not to feel the love overflowing from both of you. Ellie, you have a calm and caring way about you that makes everyone feel safe and included. And Stevie, your cheerful spirit brought so much joy and energy to the day. You can all say how precious your new little brother is, and I know he will grow up surrounded by love.
And baby Malakai… well, you’re so cute.
One of my favorite moments of the whole episode is the reconstruction of Brown’s helmet. Dads playing for the Cleveland Browns make this event so meaningful, and continuing with your three children has made me so happy. Seeing young Malakai put into the same helmet, like his sisters before him, felt like a turning point. These are the types of photos that become family treasures forever, and I already know that these will mean a lot for years to come.
And having grandma there from Hawaii made everything even more special. You could hear how much the little boy was already in love from everyone in the room. The laughter, the confusion, the hugs, the joy… it was all real and beautiful.
Your family has such love that it makes me not just a photographer but a crew member at the end of the session. I love you all so much, and I can’t wait for all the memories to come. Plus, lots of football traditions, lots of children’s laughter, and lots of fun together.
I can’t wait to see you again soon.
Love,
Brittany
