Fresno Photographer Ellie Koleen's Top 8 Airbnbs
Airbnbs are my best friend on work trips, and I'm always traveling for my dream job of being a traveling photographer. I often find that Airbnbs are less expensive, and you can get more space and amenities than staying at a hotel. Plus parking is usually free, which can be a big pain at some hotels that charge valet/parking fees. However, if you’re not careful about picking your Airbnb, you might not have a good experience. I always get asked, “Ellie, how do you always find such cool Airbnbs?!” So I'm sharing with you my top 8 Airbnb's! Most of these I've stayed at myself and can vouch for!

From the Desk of: Gianna Cardella, RPM PR's Photographer

After getting my first camera (s/o to my pops, best birthday gift ever), I mainly took photos here and there, but it wasn’t until my freshman year of college when I started to take photography seriously.

From the Desk of: Bailey Clark, RPM PR's Fall 2019 Social Media Intern
Every little girl grows up with a *somewhat* idea of what they want to be when they grow up. I knew I wanted a career that would allow me to help others, while also gave me a sense of thrill each day. I didn’t know what avenue to take - and eventually, when it came time to choose a major for college, I still hadn’t decided. I opted for the safe choice (LOL, so I thought), that would give me a lot of flexibility and different career options, and decided on pre-business.
