2015 Oh what a year it has been!!

Now that we are approaching 2016, it is time for me to reflect back on the year and put plans for 2016 in place. 2015 has been a VERY Busy roller coaster ride kind of year.  Where to start ?.........

Professionally 2015 was a very good year. I continued to work a lot in the Romance Novel Industry and got to know more and more people at the conventions I attended. I can't tell you how nice it is to meet in person the people that have supported you in your career. From authors, to cover artists, photographers and other models. I am always thrilled an honored when someone chooses me to put on their masterpiece. Thank you everyone for all your confidence and support.  The Romance Novel Industry is one of the most supportive, welcoming groups that I have ever been a part of and I continue to look forward to more and more in 2016.

I also continue to move my commercial print work forward through my agency's as well as freelance and look forward to doing more and more in 2016. Some of the companies I have had the honor to work with are WeatherTech, Andis Industris, Top Golf, LA Tan and several more.  Who will I be working with me in 2016? always exciting to think about!!!!

Inbetween it all I was able to shoot and print out my Jax 2016 Calendar with the help of my good friend/photographer, Ralph Haseltine. Thanks Ralph without your help this wouldn't have been possible.  It is for sale if you are interested please message me!! 

Acting was also doing well this year. I did commercials for both TV and Web. I also filmed on the hit Bravo TV Show "Below Deck" the final two episodes. Turns out they were the most watched episodes in the shows history!  I also have booked several commercial projects for early 2016. Can't wait to share them with you, when I can!

JAX TURYNA MARKETING AND PROMOTIONS

In addition I started a Marketing company specializing in Social Media Marketing. (I knew my college education would come in handy) It is something I love doing and as they say if you love all your work. You really never work!!! This has proven to be a great addition to my career. Thanks to the clients I have currently and look forward to adding more in the future!!

Personally this year was amazing and horrible all at the same time.  My Mom was diagnosed with Cancer. Something I wish on no one!! At the same time we found out that my brother and his wife were expecting twin baby girls. By the end of the year we have a much healthier Mom (currently cancer free) and two beautiful baby girls. What a roller-coaster of a year. Feeling so blessed at this point for everything!

 2015 went fast and many plans for the future are underway. Stay tuned!!!! I wish everyone a very Happy Healthy and Prosperous 2016 Happy New Year!!!

 As always work hard, follow your dreams and show the world that.......PETITE GIRLS ROCK!!!!

Busy, Busy, Busy but busy is good!!

Wow have things been busy and I have been traveling a lot too. I feel so fortunate to continue to work at a career that I love. Happy, Happy Model.

So what have I been doing? As many of you know I am a romance novel cover model and I was fortunate enough to attend the InD'Scribe Author Reader Convention in Palm Springs. What a fun, informative convention. I loved meeting/seeing all the authors and can't wait to see them again next year.

and one of the covers I was on got a Rone award mention!!

Shortly after that was over I was back out to LA for a photoshoot for more covers. I am always thrilled to have authors to choose me to represent their story and hard work. Some of my recent covers are below!

The next stop I made was NYC to work the New York Comic Con. Loved being able to work with Comics Against Cancer which is a company that supports cance research. Great time, Great Cause

I even got to see Tara Scott an author I had the privilege of seeing at the convention and now again in NY

At the end of the work week I got to see the NYC Columbus Day Parade!!! Wow another great and busy trip

I am back in Chicago for a few days before heading out to another romance novel shoot in LA and a Romance Novel convention in Minneapolis. Stay tuned I just may show up in a city near you.

I am working hard and pushing my dreams forward and showing the world that.......Petite Girls Rock!!!

Dating in 2015

I frequently get asked a lot of questions about dating,

so I figured I would put down what my beliefs are surrounding this topic.

I was raised very traditionally. As a result I have a specific set of expectations on dating. I guess they are very traditional. I do think once you get to know someone better and decided to continue to date them, you can approach it less formally.

What does that mean? Well basically, mean what you say and say what you mean. Treat your date with respect. Get to know them before you spend your time in group situations. Although hanging out in groups of friends is always fun, it doesn't allow to get to know your date and to really see if that person is right for you. My advise take the time up front and everything will fall into place in other situations.


Plan a date: tell the person you asked out you are important enough to come up with a plan, and mean enough to you to want to spend your time with them. The dating rules have gotten very blurry over the generations. But if you head back to more traditional times you won't go wrong and you will find your love life booming in a very positive direction with a quality partner. Treat everyone how you would like to be treated and show the world that.... Petite Girls Rock!!

I love being a romance novel model as it always me to combined my ability to act and model in one shoot. I also love attending book signings and conventions where I can meet the authors, reader and sometimes the cover artists.  I look forward to continuing in this industry for many years to come. I want to share with you the covers from January and Febuary 2015.
