The twins recognized as the ‘most beautiful in the world’ have now become renowned models on Instagram.

Making a Bold Entrance

On July 7, 2010, Jaqi was unexpectedly introduced to her newborn babies, Ava Marie and Leah Rose. The twins took everyone by surprise by arriving beforehand, however as time advanced, Jaqi comprehended the rationale behind their premature birth. “They arrived four and a half weeks prematurely, but in retrospect, given their personalities now, it’s completely understandable they would arrive early, without warning, and ready to confront anything,” commented Jaqi. The inherent beauty of the twins was apparent since their birth – their stunning big blue eyes, plump cheeks, and entirely balanced faces gave them a model-like appearance right from the start. Naturally, this led to a continuous stream of compliments from loved ones and outsiders alike.

What Everyone Said

With little girls this lovely and adorable, people couldn’t resist complimenting them. From the moment they were born, Jaqi continually heard the same comment: “Wow they are so beautiful, you should really think about getting them into modeling.” Eventually, she decided to follow the advice and see if her little ones would take to modeling. Once the twins were six months old, the family inked a deal with an agency in Los Angeles. At the time, Jaqi was also taking care of their two-year-old son, so motherhood was as challenging as it was rewarding. To maintain balance, she decided to shorten the first modeling gig the girls appeared in, keeping it to just three months.

What the Twins Want

Although the concept of modeling seemed appealing, Jaqi determined her daughters were too young to begin. She had no remorse about withdrawing the children. However, as time progressed, circumstances gradually altered, necessitating a critical decision on Jaqi’s part. Given how young Ava Marie and Leah Rose were, it was challenging to predict if they’d choose modeling. Jaqi’s goal was to back her children’s desires, not to follow others’ advice. Therefore, to ensure her daughters’ happiness, she waited until they were mature enough to voice their opinion prior to contemplating a return to modeling.

Waiting For The Right Time

Even as young children, Jaqi was unsure if they were mature enough to express their thoughts or make personal choices. Consequently, Jaqi and her spouse pondered on the right moment to grant the twins this liberty. A staunch faith holder in omens, Jaqi maintained a receptive view and disposition. Jaqi’s lucky number is seven and she found it more than a mere chance that Ava and Leah were born on the seventh of July. The idea of them turning seven on the seventh of July, 2017, provided a clue for Jaqi to alleviate her worries regarding the aspirations of her cherished daughters.

The Girls’ Response

By the time Ava and Leah reached seven years old, they had developed their own personalities. They were involved in various extracurricular activities like swimming and dancing. According to Jaqi, the girls love to perform for anybody and everybody, a trait she and her husband don’t have. On their 7th birthday, she brought up the long-awaited plan, telling the girls that if they wanted to pursue modelling, in addition to their weekly dance and swim classes, they could give it a try. And the twins’ response? “They started jumping up and down and couldn’t wait to begin,” said Jaqi.

The Modeling Begins Again

The transition back to modelling was smoother for Jaqi and her twins. Luckily, their neighbor had recently opened a children’s boutique and she needed models to help market her new business. Ava and Leah were given the job without a moment’s hesitation. Because the girls were still very young, Jaqi took things slowly. She knew that wearing excessive makeup and a variety of pretty clothes could be unhealthy for their development. So, she took the matter into her hands and “put a few waves in the girl’s hair, dabbed on a little blush” and snapped their photos using her decade-old Nikon camera.

Ironing Out the Wrinkles

During her first shoot with the twins, Jaqi had to cut them a lot of slack. Despite their stunning looks, Ava and Leah didn’t have a natural understanding of how to model. “Ava would look at the camera while Leah would stare off into space… Leah would accidentally bump into Ava who of course thought it was on purpose and would shove her back,” Jaqi said. Jaqi worried that it would be difficult to get the twins back with an agent after their first attempt six years ago. Still, she called her old contacts and to her surprise, they ended up inking deals with not one but two agencies.

The Double Agency Predicament

Little did Jaqi realize that having two agencies would put them in trouble rather than giving her daughters more opportunity and exposure. Everything was turning okay until one of the agencies gave her a call. “Hi, we wanted to let you know we were able to get the girls straight through to a callback for a Barbie Audition tomorrow,” the agent told Jaqi. Of course, she was overjoyed with the good news but she panicked because her girls had the same audition with their other agent. So she told the truth and the issues got fixed in no time.

Instagram Explosion

In July 2017 Jaqi created an Instagram account for the girls called @clementstwins. Though she was clueless as to the ins-and-outs of social media promotion. The girls had 380,000 followers after just five months. The aim of the account was to serve as a portfolio for agencies and to earn a huge fanbase. These goals were rapidly achieved thanks to the charm and beauty of the twins. She also let one of their biggest secrets to success slip: “One thing I know for sure, it’s ALL about the pictures… so don’t settle for an average photographer because you want to save a few dollars.”

It Runs in the Blood

The Clements family had an exceptional 2017, marked especially by Ava and Leah’s headway in the modeling industry. Jaqi had an intuition that 2017 would be a fortunate and thrilling year, drawing from the family’s belief in seven as their lucky digit. Ava and Leah’s thriving careers in modeling can be largely attributed to their inherited good looks. Therefore, it doesn’t come as a shock that their older brother, Chase, also demonstrated modeling prowess. He signed with the same modeling agency as his sisters and developed a fondness for acting. There’s a chance you might have spotted him in some commercials. Evidently, this family has a remarkable blend of impressive looks and natural talent!

The Highs and Lows

As soon as the public were introduced to the twins, love for them grew like crazy. Not long after they decided to give modeling a try, Lea and Avah had completed six jobs in the span of a week. They loved every minute of it and wanted to do more. Jaqi, meanwhile, was new to the modeling business and figuring everything out as she went along. As the years progress, she’s learning more about the industry and says there are ups and downs. On her blog, she wrote that one of the most important things she’s learned is, “before trusting someone to guide you, make sure you know who you are getting involved with.”

Finding The Right Assistance

One of the hardest challenges Jaqi and her girls consistently encounter in their modeling life is LA traffic. Their several weekly trips into downtown Los Angeles can sometimes turn into 6-hour-long roundtrip drives. Although this journey is challenging and exhausting, they have little choice but to deal with it. Jaqi always does thorough research before getting her kids involved in anything, and she ignores any negativity directed at her daughters or her family. She feels a lot of anxiety and pressure to safeguard her family and fight back, but then reminds herself, “if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all.”

“They Look Sad”

Ava and Leah frequently receive a comment that they look sad all the time. Some people even take this to mean that they’re being pushed to model and that they aren’t enjoying their job. The girls respond that some photoshoots are supposed to be more serious than others. Some people think the girls are too young to be exposed to makeup and “grownup clothes.” Jaqi’s response is: “ln every job the girl’s book through their agency, or any professional photo shoot they attend, there is a hired hair and makeup artist on set. Why!? Because that’s how the industry works.”

They Do Other Things Too

Jaqi knew they’d never be able to please everyone, so despite receiving endless negative comments from the public about Leah and Ava’s modeling career, she and her daughters take comfort in the fact that they know they haven’t been forced into modeling. Aside from modeling, the twins are still average little girls. They play around during photo shoots and sometimes get on each other’s nerves. They still love dancing and often do it in front of the camera before they begin modeling.

The Benefits of Modeling

Despite the exhausting nature of their modeling careers, it’s been crucial in strengthening the bond in the Clements family. Every journey is seen as a chance to grow closer as a family and form new friendships along the way. Besides appreciating the additional family moments and mingling with their peers, the twins often receive fresh clothes and items to sample. They take delight in experimenting with these products and thanking the brands that provided the gifts through their photoshoots.

Instagram Success

Gaining a huge fan base in a short amount of time is no easy feat. Just as the twins’ Though their account earned more than 300,000 followers in a short amount of time, Jaqi knew she had to learn all the tricks to turn her little girls from Instagram novices into superstars. Knowing very little about social media, she had to strategize to win the attention of the public. To make sure that people don’t get bored of your social media, Jaqi recommends to post in moderation. She explained that if you overpost, people will likely unfollow you because you’re consuming too much of their entire timeline.

The Importance of Hashtags

An essential element to take into account for Ava and Leah’s Instagram profile is the strategic use of hashtags. Their proactive mother, Jaqi, made efforts to discover a method that optimizes visibility for her daughters without going overboard with hashtagging. She unveiled her approach of using similar hashtags as other models of their age to capture the attention of social media users, primarily those who follow these models. They thereby become visible to this audience. Sounds logical, right? Continue reading for more savvy social media tactics.

Tags Result To More Likes

Aside from using hashtags on the girls’ social media accounts, Jaqi also considered other important factors. To ensure and maintain the success of the twins’ Instagram account, tagging people is also incredibly crucial. Aside from showing their appreciation for photographers, makeup artists, and designers, tagging also brings up their Instagram account when someone searches for those people. Moreover, Jaqi recommends to tag these people both in the photo and in the comments section to make sure that the tag doesn’t go unnoticed. Simple yet effective tricks like these have led to more likes and publicity for the twins.

Following Others To Boost Your Profile

Also, remember that when you’re running a popular Instagram account, you want to follow certain people to increase your chances that they will follow you. During the early phase of her relationship with Instagram, Jaqi followed other child models, children’s stores, photographers, makeup artists, and more. And the girls drew a big following in just a short period. But, Jaqi learned that she had to be selective with the people she wanted to follow. She reviewed the accounts carefully and followed only the most relevant accounts.

The Comments Section

Several factors led to the overwhelming popularity of the twins’ Instagram account. A key element was their strategic use of the comments section on their Instagram profile. They significantly benefited from fully capitalizing on this feature. Jaqi detailed how she would engage by leaving remarks on the posts made by other models, photographers, and makeup artists, aiming to establish contact and initiate dialogues with them. She emphasized that utilizing the comments section is crucial for building strong relationships and getting to know other important figures within your industry.

Effective Trends

Over time, Jaqi learned more strategies to enhance her daughters’ social media presence. She found that certain types of photos tend to be more popular with audiences than others. Initially, she believed that the subject or tone of the photos wouldn’t affect the amount of likes they received and that the twins’ natural allure and attractiveness were the primary drivers of their large followership. However, the Clements family soon noticed an uptick in likes on pictures where Ava and Leah’s shared features, such as their expressive eyes, were closely showcased. These unique images engaged viewers, prompting them to like and follow.

Their Fashionable Outfits

When the girls were just starting off with their modeling career, it wasn’t only their striking looks and similarities that caught the attention of the public, it was also their fashionable outfits. To make sure her daughters were always dressed to perfection, Jaqi would borrow clothes from their neighbor who owns a kids’ boutique. To return the favor, she would advertise the shop on their Instagram page. Apparently, it was a win-win situation for both parties as people continue to be impressed by the trendy clothes the girls wear. The shop has earned plenty of positive reviews and more clients as a result.

Honesty Is Always The Best Policy

The Clements twins’ modeling journey has been an endless learning experience for the whole family. They are still figuring out the ins-and-outs of the industry, and one of the most significant lessons they’ve learned is that honesty is indeed the best policy, always. They learned that whether they are working with an agency, other models, or a professional photographer, saying whatever is on your mind helps keep things clear between everyone. It also helps you develop a reputation as a person of integrity in the business. The Clements have found that being honest has helped them establish happy and healthy relationships among their colleagues and with their fanbase.

They Will Only Stay If They Want To

The unspoken rule in the Clements household is that their commitment to the modeling business only continues as long as enjoyment and happiness are present. Their parents are fully on board, supporting their aspirations provided it brings joy to their children’s faces. They would never impose the industry upon their children against their will. Jaqi and her spouse are always supportive, ready to stand by their children’s choices. If the children wish to exit the industry, their decision will be met with full support. Their primary concern is always their children’s happiness.

Making New Friends

The modeling industry has a lot of benefits, and the Clements twins got to experience them at a very young age. Jaqi revealed that one of the major advantages of having her daughters in the modeling industry is all the friends they make along the way. On her blog, Jaqi shared how much Ava and Leah value friendships. She wrote: “[They] meet a new ‘friend’ for 10 minutes at an audition or a shoot and are already asking me if this new friend can be their cousin, because a simple friendship just doesn’t quite express the love they have for their new friend.”

The Modeling Industry Isn’t Cheap

The twins’ mommy would also like to make it clear that just because her daughters are constantly booking jobs, this doesn’t mean that their family is rich. Jaqi revealed that they have to budget for gas, food, and headshots to keep up with the job. Jaqi uses her blog as a platform to share every memorable experience and all the challenges. “I guess if you really put it all into perspective, the money we as parents put out now… will allow them to make their own money they can use towards college or a car or a house in the future,” she writes.

Be Careful Who You Trust

Reflecting on her family’s journey in the modeling industry, Jaqi shared on her blog: “This by far has been one of the most stressful, upsetting, mind-boggling, and biggest lessons I’ve learned in this industry so far.” She is referring to the fact that you should be wary of who you trust. She pointed out that when choosing an agent or industry professional to work with, it’s crucial that you hire someone who values your kids’ best interests. Doing a little research on the person will save you and your family a lot of trouble. Indeed, trust is important.

The Clements Have Good Genes

Are you wondering where the Clements twins and their brother got their stunning good looks? Wonder no more as one look at their parents will answer your question. Their beautiful genes are undeniably strong. This photo that looks like it came straight from a magazine. The Clements are indeed one good-looking family. We’ve witnessed Jaqi even models with her daughters sometimes, and we’re quite sure their dad could work the camera pretty well too!

New Adventures

Though there’s endless backlash, particularly claims that the twins are being forced to model, the girls couldn’t care less. Mean comments are simply dismissed. Instead of getting affected, the kids just focus on what they enjoy most – modeling. Leah and Ava insist that they love the job. But what is it about modeling that’s so appealing? “They like the new adventures we go on every week, never knowing where we will end up, but looking forward to a new experience,” Jaqi explained on her blog. The adventures that characterize their modeling journey bring immense joy and valuable lessons they will treasure for a lifetime.

Bonding With Mom

With Jaqi being mom and manager in one package, Leah and Ava get to spend a lot of quality time with her. Their modeling career may be action-packed, but they are happy that they get to see their mother a lot. The work has established a mother-daughter bond that will last a lifetime. Jaqi explained, “They like spending time in the car with each other and with me… having some girl time together.” They also love making super sweet appreciation posts, sharing how much they love each other.

Nevermind the Negativity

Despite the love, Jaqi is regularly attacked with negative comments. Instead of getting affected, she says she doesn’t really pay attention to it. Jaqi knew it would be a waste of time defending her daughters and her family from online abuse. They know the truth, they know they’re happy, and that’s all that matters to them. “I definitely don’t give any light to negative comments because I know myself that they are untrue and that’s really all that matters,” Jaqi said in reply to a comment on her blog.

Negating Negativity

Even though Jaqi doesn’t like the negative comments, there’s little she can do about it. So, what does she do to keep her sanity when strangers insist on judging her and her daughters? Well, she knows that she cannot stop them, so she just lets them be. On her blog, Jaqi revealed her effective response to their critics, writing: “I welcome people to comment… good or bad. I don’t plan on deleting anyone’s comments, even if they are negatively directed towards me because everyone is entitled to express how they feel.”

Speaking Up Matters

As in any industry, modeling requires you to speak up and establish a clear understanding with your colleagues and followers. While it can be tough to do this, it’s important that you be honest about how you feel. Jaqi replied to a commenter who, just like her, has kids in the modeling industry but was afraid to speak up about the way people treat them. “I don’t want to do or say anything that will jeopardize anything for my kids but at the same time, enough is enough. If I can prevent others from going through what we have been through then it’s worth the fight!,” Jaqi wrote.

No Slowing Down

The modeling careers of the Clements twins are by no means decelerating. Even though they are still elementary school attendees, they are indeed carving out a prosperous empire for themselves. Their astounding follower count of 1.1 million on Instagram stands as evidence of their extraordinary modeling and influencer capabilities. The twins, Ava and Leah, have recently initiated their own YouTube channel where they provide a glimpse of their lives through vlogs. There’s a high probability of this endeavor also turning into a massive hit. One thing is certain, the twins, namely the Clements, are fast emerging as some of the most popular models on Instagram.

Building Their Stellar Portfolios

As the Clemets twins grow a bit older, they are presented with more modeling prospects. Renowned fashion magazines and celebrated apparel brands are now engaging Ava and Leah for their modeling assignments, producing impressive results. The girls have now amassed an illustrious portfolio filled with captivating photos taken by top-notch photographers. Their enchanting charm and striking beauty hint a prosperous future filled with greater opportunities. Combined with their enormous following on Instagram, Ava and Leah are poised for an incredibly promising future. Best of luck to the both of them!

An Amazing Life

Ava and Leah Clements became professional models at a very young age – when they were seven years old. The past year has been especially exciting for the twins and their mom Jaqi. Months after they became professional models on July 7, 2017, the Daily Mail featured the girls and their modeling journey. And it’s been a steep upward trajectory from there. Jaqi said “the girls have had an amazing ride so far.” From luxurious shopping treats from different brands all over the world to taking photos with their fans, the twins are lucky to have their mom supporting them through every step of their modeling career.

A Lesson In Speaking Up

Throughout all their challenges, Jaqi has learned that it’s not always good to keep quiet. Sometimes, the best thing to do would be to speak up, especially if you need to defend yourself or your loved ones. Even though Jaqi was scared that speaking up could hinder the young girls’ blooming careers, she eventually realized that she could protect them better by actually saying something and not remaining silent.

Haters Gonna Hate

The parents of the Clements twins have shown immense support for their young ones, but their actions have not been well received by various online critics. There’s a belief among some that these parents are merely exploiting their twins for financial gain, despite the girls’ burgeoning careers as juvenile models and influencers. Aforementioned criticism was evident on the popular discussion website Reddit, where some users alleged that the Clements are in fact robbing their children of their youth by allowing them to enter the modeling industry at an early age.

 

Facing Backlash

The family endured relentless criticism on social media, with one Reddit user expressing strong disapproval. This commenter, who revealed she has an eight-year-old daughter, stated emphatically she would never use her child for fiscal gain or social media popularity on platforms like Instagram. She also criticized the heavy makeup frequently worn by the girls and the notable amount of Photoshop in their pictures. It’s evident that not every parent agrees with the Clements’ actions regarding their children.

Jaqi Responds

Jaqi finally responds to all the haters and critics, saying that the reason why they’re doing all these is simply that the girls love modeling. She claims that not a single thing was forced upon them – they chose to do it themselves. The only thing she did was to suggest the activity. At that time, they were already taking dance classes and attending swim team practices weekly. When they took their mother’s advice to try modeling, they fell in love with it almost instantly

Expensive Lifestyle

Jaqi revealed that their way of living took a more pricey turn when the girls ventured into modeling. However, seeing the joy and excitement the girls exhibited at the start of their new modeling journey, she quickly became a supportive pillar. Jaqi even mentioned that the girls were so overjoyed they literally “jumped up and down” with glee.

Only Making Enough

Jaqi also touched on the misconception that the Clements parents were earning a significant amount of income from the modeling careers of their twins. She asserted that, contrary to the widely held view, they were actually losing more money than they were making due to the high costs associated with their children’s profession.

Future Investment

Jaqi has stated that she harbors no regrets about the amount of money she has invested into her children’s careers. Indeed, she perceives their transition from modeling as a hobby to modeling professionally as an investment in their future. The rationale behind this is that the income they gain from modeling can potentially cover expenses like a personal vehicle or college tuition further down the line. This is a scenario that Jaqi truly wishes for her children.

Jaqi Strikes Back

Jaqi responded to observations suggesting that her children seem depressed or unsatisfied with their lifestyle. Among all the remarks about her family, this was the one she found least agreeable. It seems that many people made speculative judgments as if they personally acquainted with the family. The young mother questioned, “Have you ever considered that perhaps modeling is what makes them joyful?” She immediately answered her query confidently, affirming, “Indeed, it does.”

The Twins’ Happiness Comes First

Jaqi stressed that Ava and Leah’s well-being always takes top priority. She acknowledged the concern people had for her children and affirmed they were doing well. She revealed that her children had a vibrant social life filled with friends and daily play. She raised a concern about people making assumptions based on individual images, noting they could not fully represent their characters or standard of living.

What’s Next For The Twins?

At present, the twins are still navigating their way through elementary school, suggesting they have a long journey ahead of them. Despite this, they’re remarkably successful in their modeling pursuits. They routinely secure more job opportunities and there’s no sign of their career momentum slowing down in the near future.

Exciting Times

In a conversation with Buzzfeed, Jaqi revealed that the girls are truly enjoying their journey so far. The past year has been filled with numerous novel experiences for them, including exclusive shopping experiences, collaborations with brands, and interactions with their loving admirers. These experiences, among others, have heightened the girls’ enthusiasm for their prospective future in the modeling industry.

Breaking Past One Million

Were you aware that the girls have surpassed the one million follower mark on Instagram? Not only that, but their follower numbers are continuously increasing. It would not be shocking if, in the coming years, they manage to match the follower counts of other prominent celebrities like modelling siblings Gigi and Bella Hadid.

Ten-Year-Old Wonders

At just eight years old, Ava and Leah have already attracted the attention of numerous fashion magazines and clothing labels which are eager to collaborate with them. Top professionals in the industry, including photographers, makeup artists, and hairstylists, have already had the pleasure of working with these two young talents, and many others are excitedly anticipating the chance to do the same.

Hustling Young

The twins have already established a collaboration with Hudson + Hobbes, a Canadian children’s clothing brand. Their collaboration includes products that are femininely sporty, cozy, and fashionable, as stated on their Instagram post. This is truly commendable work, particularly given their tender age.

New Business Opportunities

Nail and Bone, a cruelty-free and vegan nail polish brand, is yet another venture in the girls’ extensive portfolio of business projects. They have a solid history of contributing 20% of their earnings to charities dedicated to pet adoption and rescue. Their collaboration with the twins resulted in two new nail polish shades, Hope and Courage.

Hardworking Girls

Clearly, building a thriving career in modeling requires a significant investment of time. Surprisingly, despite being quite young, the girls are ready to do whatever is necessary to reach the pinnacle. As stated by their parents in 2017, the twins once committed to six modeling assignments in the same week. This certainly showcases a high level of commitment for girls of their age.
