When Jaqi and Kevin Clements were given the news that they were expecting twins, they were filled with emotions. Although they knew they had to brace themselves for the extra challenges twins often bring, the prospect of welcoming two bundles of joy made them incredibly excited. The parents, already with a little boy, felt confident in their abilities to cope with the upcoming arrival.
In 2010, their little girls, Ava and Leah were born without difficulty. Little did the new parents know that their daughters were destined for greatness! As the girls started to grow, their beauty attracted attention, and soon they began to pursue modeling.
The Start Of Endless Epic Twists
In 2009, Jaqi and Kevin Clements thought their family was complete with their son Chase. Surprise, Jaqi was unexpectedly pregnant with twins! As the due date approached, she went into labor at nine months, four and a half weeks before expected. The birth of Ava and Leah was a happy moment, but Jaqi sensed they had something special from their first moments.
This intuition was absolutely correct. Little did Jaqi know at the time that her beautiful twins had the star factor that would make them incredibly successful even as young children. Today, she looks back with immense pride at the amazing accomplishments of this surprise.
Stars Are Born Not Made, Huh?
Having two bundles of joy join their family came as a complete surprise to the Clements. It showed them that life is full of wonderful surprises, and Ava and Leah's presence had them in awe! From having their doting parents, Jaqi and Kevin, to strangers captivated by their presence, the girls had it all.
Everyone simply adored these gorgeous babies with their shining blond hair that framed their cherub-like faces! Photos of the picture-perfect twins quickly spread everywhere, and it seemed like an omen of things to come. Indeed, this was a foreshadow of a life that would eventually be filled with exciting twists and turns.
Why Try When They Are Already Destined For It
Everywhere they went, Ava and Leah garnered attention from those who encountered them. So many co-workers, friends, and family members exclaimed to their parents that they should go into modeling, which they had actually been considering for a while now.
In the end, Jaqi and Kevin made the decision to give it a shot, and why not, when their twin girls looked so symmetrical and identical? Who knows what the industry holds for them? All it took was a little initiative and the support of Jaqi and Kevin, and it was only a matter of time before the twin angels were gracing the covers of magazines and doing runway shows.
Sometimes, First Tries Are Not Just It
After a few long conversations, they got the ball rolling for Ava and Leah's modeling experience right away. Jaqi signed them up for modeling lessons the second they reached six months old, and everyone was feeling optimistic and ready for success. Everything seemed to be coming up roses and a professional agency was on board.
Regrettably, Jaqi found it too difficult to manage her three children and make sure the twins made every casting call. Within the span of only three months, she brought the girls' career in modeling to a sudden halt. Yet, she didn't know there was something else in store for her babies; modeling was just warming up.
Just As They Thought They Were Back To Normal
Ava and Leah were eager to hit the runway, but Jaqi convinced them it was probably best to put their ambition on hold for a little longer. Over time, they both accepted the idea of a normal life with school, work, and play.
No matter how badly she wanted it, Jaqi knew in her heart that their modeling career wasn't meant to be this time around. Yet, as they say, never say never! Maybe Ava and Leah would sign with a big modeling agency in the future. Until then, Jaqi knew that her two eldest children were safe and sound, and that's all she ever wanted for them.
The Heart Wants What It Wants
Jaqi was like any other busy mother, pivoting around time with her kids and her other obligations, when something unexpected hit her in the face: Ava and Leah desperately wanted to be models! As the twins grew, she noticed they just couldn't shake their interest. The girls were constantly being silly and full of joy, putting their all into their postings like the pros.
They finally got it: the girls wanted to make their style of modeling a career. Jaqi didn't hesitate when she realized that the pursuit of their dreams was something that needed to be supported, no matter what.
It Was A Quiet Yet Clear Expression
Jaqi and Kevin wanted Ava and Leah to remain toddlers for a little while longer, but these two little ones had other ideas. Their adorable, though silent, protests made it clear they wanted to get back into modeling. Even though it was difficult for Jaqi and Kevin to understand their intentions, they soon recognized the signs and understood what the girls wanted.
Making the decision was not an easy one, but eventually, they decided to put their lives back on track and reboot Ava and Leah's modeling career. Without wasting any time, Jaqi started preparing for what was to come.
You Cannot Go Against Destiny!
Jaqi Clements felt like she was meant to provide her beloved twin daughters with an amazing childhood as models. On 7/7, the date of their birthdays, Jaqi declared this had to be more than just a coincidence as she strongly believed this was a lucky charm. Sure enough, on the 7th of July, Jaqi signed the girls up for modeling classes once and for all.
It was as if these numbers served as her serendipitous guide to providing an incredible future for her daughters. It was like fate was telling her that these numbers would have an effect on the whole Clements family and, indeed, it did.
You Might Wonder If They Are Really Kids
Ava and Leah had always been natural performers. Ever since they were toddlers, the twins had a knack for wowing audiences and it was an ability everyone knew about. Whether it was family or strangers, their stage presence never wavered. So it was no surprise when their mother announced that they could now take modeling classes.
The twins' enthusiasm was impossible to keep in check! However, this new development was a double-edged sword; expectations were higher and hard work was required for them to fulfill their dream, not just wish. Nevertheless, the girls were prepared for the challenge and it seemed that, finally, things were falling into place.
Love Is Sweeter The Second Time Around
Ava and Leah couldn't believe their luck when, only a few months after deciding to embark on modeling careers, they landed their very first gig. Not long ago, one of their neighbors had opened up a children's clothing boutique and happened to be in need of young models. The twin was just what she was looking for, and the boutique owner jumped at the chance to hire them for her marketing campaigns.
Now, it was time to look for an agent to help them grow their portfolios. With high hopes and unlimited potential, the Clements siblings started their search and it's safe to say they were thrilled with the results.
But Sometimes You Have To Be Wise Too
Jaqi knew she had to tread carefully when it came to introducing the world of modeling to her daughters. Ava and Leah were still so young and she didn't want to overwhelm them. So, when it came to taking official pictures for their portfolio, she chose to take the photos herself.
Instead of wearing outfits, applying complex makeup, and spending hours on a set with a professional photographer, she decided on something much simpler. She pulled her trusted Nikon camera out of the closet and set up a photo shoot in her own living room. She gave her little ones a small "touch-up," added some simple hairstyling and the session began.
But It's Not Always Rainbows And Butterflies
Ava and Leah were just two kids with intelligent minds and eagerness, but this hadn't necessarily made it any easier for Jaqi to handle. In a situation where both children struggled to keep still, or rather, to stay focused on posing specifically for the camera, they weren't far from being their usual selves.
Leah constantly losing focus and being entirely too hyperactive for such a situation, Ava was happy to follow, and these two loving siblings bumping into each other during the shoot was a regular thing. Nevertheless, Jaqi was patient and managed to stay afloat until the end; after some time, the twins had finished the portfolio with perfect shots.
Throwing The Net To The Sea
After a six-year break from a modeling agency, Ava and Leah Clements were ready to jump back into the industry. However, the sisters needed help, and that's where Jaqi, their experienced mother, came in. Utilizing her seemingly endless connections, she began looking for a modeling agency that shared her vision for the twins.
As expected, the pair's stunning portfolio provoked a flurry of interest from multiple agencies. All of them requested a meeting and expressed strong interest in signing Ava and Leah, but in the end, the girls decided to align themselves with Nick Styne of Definition Entertainment. A powerful agent that would help in changing their lives.
Social Media Celebrities Should Learn From Them
Apart from putting them into a modeling agency, Jaqi knew that good digital representation was crucial to success in this field, so she set out to create an Instagram presence for the girls. While she had never been a social media manager before, she set out to learn the ropes and quickly created @clementstwins.
Just a few months later the account had amassed a few dozen followers, and, with continued action and fresh content, the fanbase grew exponentially. In a matter of months, it had reached a full 300,000 followers! The impressive growth of the account was certainly a testament to the hard work put in behind the scenes.
Truth Is, They Were Just Getting Started
It definitely did not go unnoticed when Ava and Leah made their Instagram debut. Glancing at their stunning looks, it wasn't hard to figure out why! They both had a sweet allure that, combined with their loyal followers, made them an immediate hit. Thanks to the savvy mind of their handler Jaqi, they were able to use her brilliant strategies to engage with their audience.
From Q&A's to a peak at their everyday lives, Jaqi had a bag of tricks up her sleeve that kept their fans clued in and coming back for more. It was a huge success, and with more fans came more opportunities that led to unthinkable heights.
Guess The Lucky Number 7 Works Hard Too
2017 proved to be a year of immense good luck, culminating in fame and fortune for the Clements family. Despite being full of doubt, their mother, Jaqi, always had faith, believing strongly that the number 7 had some special kind of luck behind it. As 2017 began to draw to a close, her expectations had been spectacularly met!
Leah and Ava, two of the Clements had become two of the biggest child models in the entire country. And as 2018 kicked off, a family member decided to take a risk, joining up with the modeling world, seemingly showcasing the inventive talent that runs in the blood.
Here Comes The Prince
The Clement family is exceptionally talented: both Ava and Leah have shown they have what it takes to become models. Interestingly, their older brother, Chase, has emerged from his cocoon of humble beginnings and joined Definition Entertainment. The agency has maximized the Clement kids' eagerness, setting up a swift media schedule of commercials, advertisements, and photoshoots.
Though the twins preferred modeling, Chase simply found joy in star-billing his own commercials. Schoolwork rarely got a look in as their schedules were often fully booked. Ava and Leah looked marked out to become the world's most famous child models, whilst Chase just wanted to show the world what he could do.
She Needed No Managers, Folks
New to the fashion world, the Clements family has astounded everyone with their success. When Jaqi embarked on this journey, she had no idea how a professional team of talent managers managed appearances and payments. Despite the lack of industry knowledge, she was determined to make certain her twin daughters always earned a fair deal for their work.
After her initial struggles, Jaqi wasn't content to have other inexperienced parents go through the same ordeal. She started a blog to put together a helpful list of advantages and drawbacks without resorting to names or getting involved in the controversy. Jaqi's number one advice? Find someone you can trust. Yet, why?
Guess What? There Are Always Ways
Ava and Leah Clements have what it takes to achieve their modeling dreams: the talent, and the confidence, but what they had to face was a challenge unknown to most: traffic jams! Six-hour round trips downtown to Los Angeles became the norm and to make the commute bearable, the Clements had to switch up the routine of movie-watching, napping, and schoolwork.
On top of this, the Clements were determined to ensure their daughters' success wasn't overwhelmed by any outside influence or bias and wanted them to pursue their dreams fearlessly. That's exactly what happened, the twins have gone on to become two of the best models on the planet!
Here Comes The Social Media Influencer
Since they are part of an online modeling agency, they are exposed to the internet's plethora of anonymous comments and opinions. Unfortunately for them, some of these thoughts are judgemental and are far from the truth, like the accusation that their parents are forcing them to model and that they look unhappy in their photos.
However, under the guidance of their mother, the girls remain determined to show their true selves and positively deal with criticism. They show that photography requires them to look serious, or at least content. Unfortunately, the bigger problem appears to be that these negative comments aren't going away.
What's Wrong With A Slight Color In The Face?
When the Clements family first ventured into the world of modeling, they expected some negative feedback. However, questions about the makeup of the girls, especially considering their age, were something they never anticipated. Jaqi remains resilient and provides explanations on the industry standard for makeup on teenage models. Despite the onslaught of criticism, Jaqi keeps her composure in a tranquil and collected manner.
The one thing Jaqi cannot stand is people questioning the family's stance on makeup. She is bombarded with inquiries on what is appropriate for the twins, and whether or not they are too young to wear it.
There Will Always Be Bashers Not Just In The Movie
Jaqi Clements cringed every time strangers made that tired comment; she knew what they meant but couldn't stand such a dismissive attitude. Her twin daughters, Ava and Leah, were so passionate about modeling that Jaqi had no choice but to support them. The opinions of people who didn't know her children didn't matter.
In the end, Jaqi believed it was a win-win situation; the girls could follow their dreams and mimic the dedication of adults while staying connected with their kid-selves. Ava and Leah excelled in modeling, while also expressing themselves in other ways, like swimming and dancing. Just like any other child, the Clements twins liked to have fun!
Taking Weaknesses To Strength?
The Clements had a unique family experience! Instead of dreading their regular travels, the long drives allowed them to bond in ways that a regular family does not typically get to. As the car filled with laughter, the newfound quality time added a special layer of love to the family dynamics.
Ava and Leah made friends with other child models, which provided an opportunity for them to begin socializing in new ways. Not only did the children find fun in the adventures, but the parents were also able to take advantage of the opportunity to make the most of the time they had together.
A Fashion Icon At A Very Young Age
Ava and Leah's dreams of becoming well-known social media influencers were close to becoming a reality. After posing for a few solo shots, Jaqi quickly realized that photos featuring both of the girls drew more engagement from their followers. To take it a step further, the sisters would dress in similar garments to emphasize their likeness and increase the reach of their platform.
This was a win-win for both parties, considering Jaqi was able to borrow clothing from her friend's boutique for photoshoots! Throughout the whole journey, thoughtful consideration was taken to protect the two girls, and ensuring that they were both safe and happy with everything was always a priority.
But... Pressure Was Nowhere To Be Found
When the Clements made the decision for their children to start modeling, they made sure honesty was at the forefront of their minds. After all, it was crucial that their children, Ava and Leah, felt free to speak up if they weren't enjoying themselves. It was an unwritten rule across the family that they should always be truthful about how they felt.
The twins' dedication to honesty has not only reassured their parents, but also acted as an example to their friends and followers; with so many people admiring the duo, it’s no surprise that honesty is becoming an increasingly important part of their brand.
What About Friends?
Ava and Leah brought their bubbly personalities and enthusiasm into every situation, making it hard for people not to gravitate toward them. Everywhere they went, they formed relationships with the other kid models and parents in attendance, becoming mini-celebrities.
Not content to rest on their laurels, they recently began their own Youtube channel, taking their audience with them as they grow, vlogging along the way. The sky’s the limit for Ava and Leah! As their impact and network continue to expand, they look forward to the opportunities that may come, like starring in a TV show or film. The only thing remaining now is to make their dreams a reality.
Sorry To Break It, But It Was Not A Magical Cash Increase
Leah and Ava Clements may look like they have hit the financial jackpot, booking regular print ads and commercials. But appearances can be deceptive; behind the scenes, Jaqi and Kevin have been investing heavily in photography, costume, and transport expenses to get their girls to their auditions.
Despite the outlay, the couple is confident that their daughters will eventually reap the rewards, with enough money to build their own savings for the future. There may even come a time when they can afford to buy their first home or car of their own. The family has chosen to take it slow, embracing the work that the twins love, rather than looking for the million-dollar payday.
She Needed No Comfortable Chairs
Jaqi Clements is no ordinary mom, she's a pro, and more than that, an inspiration. All three of her children have made it in the modeling world, and now Jaqi is sharing her experiences and wisdom as a modeling mother through her blog. Writing from experience, she knows how stressful this journey can be.
Also, Jaqi emphasizes the importance of going at a slower pace. It is important to take it one step at a time; don't rush and build up the team gradually and ensure that all of your needs are being met. Jaqi knows best and she's the real deal when it comes to model mum success.
Take Those Physical Gene-Test Seriously

It's no surprise then that the siblings have become so popular on the modeling circuit, making friends with fellow models in the process. It's almost as if they are born with a natural flair for the camera. At the same time, they love nothing more than having photos taken together.
