Welcome to Beginning Beloved

Hi, I’m Summer!

Registered Nurse, Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), Wife, and Photographer.

I’m so glad you’re here. I truly mean that! I’m grateful for all of the families that I have the honored of walking with, educating, and photographing. My biggest hope for you is that you feel loved, heard, and accepted. Being a parent is not easy, there are so many unknowns, big life changes, and things to do. My hope is that this space and community is a place for you to come and feel at peace, feel a sense of belonging, and know that you are not alone (because you aren’t!).

More than counseling or education, my desire for you is that you know you are loved and known and cared for!

I’m passionate about supporting families through the rollercoaster of pregnancy and delivery, and educating families about infant care and breastfeeding. Whether it’s your first baby or you’re experienced parents, I want you to feel empowered to make choices about your health and your baby’s health.
