Capturing Stars Hollow Magic: A Gilmore Girls Photoshoot in Charming New Milford, CT with the Planet Photo Creator Tribe
As fans of the hit TV series Gilmore Girls will attest, the fictional town of Stars Hollow is an integral character in its own right. What many may not know is that Stars Hollow draws inspiration from the real-life charm and character of New Milford, Connecticut. Nestled in the scenic beauty of Litchfield County, New Milford played a pivotal role in shaping the iconic setting that became synonymous with Lorelai and Rory Gilmore’s adventures. Let’s delve into the connection between Gilmore Girls and the picturesque town of New Milford.
Several landmarks in New Milford served as inspiration for key locations in Gilmore Girls. Theo’s Diner is source of inspiration for Stars Hollow’s Luke’s Diner. Fans with a keen eye can spot resemblances between New Milford’s iconic landmarks and the backdrop of many memorable scenes in the show.
Just as Stars Hollow boasts a variety of unique businesses, New Milford’s local establishments contribute to the town’s character. From charming bookstores to cozy diners, the real-life counterparts to Luke’s Diner and the Dragonfly Inn can be found scattered throughout Litchfield County. These establishments not only provide essential services to the community but also serve as a testament to the enduring charm that inspired the creators of Gilmore Girls.
So next time you are craving a little Gilmore Girls then stroll down Bank St in New Milford. Pick up coffee and lunch at Theo’s Diner or River and Rail and then find a bench on the green.
The Planet Photo Creator Tribe is a group of high school girls and guys who really love having fun and being creative. We take the time to plan and style group and themed photo shoots. Our goals are to inspire and influence our community through our images. If you would like to join us for our next group shoot then let me know, I would love for you to be part of the Planet Photo Creator Tribe!
Branding Placeres Naturopathic

I would love for you to meet Dr Amanda Placeres. Dr. Amanda Placeres is located right next to me on Bank Street in New Milford and it has been an inspiration to see the drive and enthusiasm she has brought to her business. We have brainstormed on how to best present a cohesive and professional web and social media presence, and we have both had so much fun and learned so much about branding through images along the way.
What business do you own?
I am a Naturopathic Physician and acupuncturist. I founded Placeres Naturopathic & Acupuncture from a place of heart and continue to lead with passion. Our first and most important goal is to get your mind and body into optimum health. We focus on disease prevention and optimizing wellness through the least invasive and most effective therapies for the individual. With therapies that are patient-centered, we offer advanced diagnostic testing, individualized treatment plans, medical-grade supplements, and so much more. We offer a unique approach to managing your health that will leave you feeling happy, healthy, and whole.
When did you start your practice?
What started as one small office in Norwalk in 2016 has developed into a multidisciplinary clinic in New Milford with satellite offices in Norwalk and Stamford.
Why did you come to New Milford?
I fell in love with New Milford, its people and the “small town vibe.” I knew I wanted to be a part of a community that really cared about one another. What I enjoy most about practicing in a small community is the doctor-patient relationships I form with patients and the involvement in town events. My own health was transformed by the support I received from the amazing educators in my life, like school counselors, teachers, and professors. That’s why I now seek to educate others through monthly workshops and events for free, to promote the health and well-being of the community.
Why did you start working with Janet Taub?
Janet is my neighbor in the building where we are located. She was the first tenant I met. I was excited to have a photographer close by. I had been wanting to update my business photos and branding for a while but did not meet the right professional yet. I knew she was great right away when I saw the type of work she did. After out first session working together, I was blown away by her expertise, ease and creativity with the camera. Every session we have done together is better than the one before. This is because Janet has taken the time to understand me, my business and how I practice. She knows better than I do how to make that translate into a photo. Since working with her, my business has never looked better on social media platforms and my website. Patients know at first glance what services we offer and what to expect before stepping foot into the door.
We are planning our next branding shoot so follow Placeres Naturopathic on instagram to see more of our images and for lots of tips on living a healthy balanced lifestyle.

Michelle competed in her first body building competition in 2000 but she recently told me that she feels like she is in better shape now than at any other point in her life, so a perfect time to take some fitness portraits!
I invited Michelle to write a post for the blog so here in her words.
What fitness and good health mean to me.
Our bodies are meant to move…that’s what we’re designed to do. Good health and fitness does not require endless hours of exercise or severe dietary restrictions, but it does require finding some form of movement that you can enjoy enough to do consistently and it does require being fueled with whole, nutritient dense foods. Many individuals get sucked into the lifestyle of instant gratification: We want it now. We enjoy those things that give us that quick moment of pleasure and we avoid those things that bring us a little discomfort.
What we should really be aiming for is an entire lifetime of feeling good. We need to find balance between what we want in the moment and what will help us live a fuller, healthier long life.
In order to be well rounded, we also need to include finding some way to improve our mental health. This could be as simple as taking 5 minutes a day to just sit and breathe deeply and think about what we’re grateful for that day. Taking a few minutes to “just be” can have a huge impact on our day.
I work with many older individuals and the ones who are feeling well and healthy as they age are the ones who have learned to balance out movement, nutrition and mental well-being. In the long run, we need to learn to take care of ourselves so we have more to give to others.
I love my job…helping others find nutrition and exercise that work for them so they can truly live their best healthy life!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Michelle. You are an inspiration to so many of your friends and clients.
