An Early Arrival
Jaqi and her husband were preparing for the arrival of their baby twins. The twins, Ava Marie and Leah Rose were born on July 7, 2010. Four and a half week earlier than expected. But as time went on, Jaqi started to understand why it happened that way. Jaqi's journey into unexpected early motherhood was like a rollercoaster ride she hadn't signed up for, but little did she know, it was just the beginning of a double trouble adventure. As Ava Marie and Leah Rose grew, their personalities blossomed, filling Jaqi's life with double the laughter, mischief, and joy. Turns out, those four and a half weeks of anticipation were merely a sneak peek into the whirlwind of excitement the dynamic duo would bring into Jaqi's world!
“They came four and a half weeks early but knowing their personalities now it makes total sense that they would show up early, unannounced, and ready to take on anything,” Jaqi said.
Mesmerizing Everyone From the Start
It wasn’t long after the birth of twins that family and even strangers started to notice how beautiful the twins are. Since birth, the natural beauty of twins is simply undeniable. Their cherubic faces and synchronized giggles became a daily spectacle, turning heads wherever they went. Even in the chaotic hustle of everyday life, the radiant charm of the twins seemed to create a momentary pause, reminding everyone that beauty, in its purest form, can be found in the unscripted joy of twinhood.
Thanks to their smooth skin, symmetrical faces, and silky texture of hair, the twins looked out of this world from the very start.
"They Should be Models"
With such beautiful kids, it is not hard to imagine how much Jaqi and her husband heard one compliment over and over again: “they should be models.” And who could blame the constant stream of admirers? The twins' undeniable beauty and photogenic charm had everyone convinced that the runway was their natural habitat, making "they should be models" the unofficial anthem of every encounter with the dynamic, adorable, and precious duo.
According to Jaqi, strangers would always mention one thing: "Wow they are so beautiful, you should really think about getting them into modeling." She decided to give it a shot.
Modeling Stint Added Pressure on Jaqi
After being persuaded by so many people to get the twins involved in modeling, Jaqi did it and the decision turned out to be a fruitful one as the twins were only six months old when they were signed by an agency in Los Angeles. Little did Jaqi know that saying "yes" to the world of modeling would fast-track her adorable duo to stardom. By the time the ink dried on their first contract in Los Angeles, Ava Marie and Leah Rose were already breaking hearts and making waves in the competitive world of baby modeling. The journey from cooing infants to pint-sized fashionistas had officially begun.
However, it added more pressure on Jaqi as she also had to take care of her two-year-old son. The first attempt did not last longer than 3 months. "It was hard enough to get out of the door most days so my attempt back then was short lived and I decided it just wasn't the time," Jaqi said.
Living a Normal Life
Although it seemed like an enticing idea to help her daughters become models at such a young age, it wasn’t the right decision at that time. Jaqi soon found herself navigating the tricky waters of the modeling industry, realizing that the glitz and glamour came with its own set of challenges for her little ones. Balancing nap times with photoshoot schedules became an intricate dance, and Jaqi couldn't ignore the tug of her motherly instincts urging her to prioritize her daughters' well-being over early fame.
Jaqi thought that it would be better to bring her daughters alongside their peers. With time, things slowly started to change.
Going with Children’s Wishes
As Jaqi was busy taking care of her three children, the idea of modeling started to fade away. However, the twins weren’t ready to let it go yet. In a twist of fate, it was Ava Marie and Leah Rose who reignited the spark for modeling, showcasing an unyielding passion for the camera that couldn't be contained. Their natural flair for posing and genuine love for the spotlight became too evident to ignore, reigniting the modeling dream that had once taken a backseat to the demands of a bustling household. Little did Jaqi know that the twins had their own runway aspirations, and they were ready to chase them with the same enthusiasm that first captured hearts.
Jaqi didn’t want to pressurize her daughters into doing something they didn’t want to do. Hence, she made sure her daughter had a say in this matter.
The Wait Game Begins
Jaqi knew that she couldn’t ask the girls about it as they were still toddlers and not old enough to make their own decisions. While Jaqi was pondering the future of her twins in the modeling world, the toddlers were blissfully unaware, more concerned with building Lego towers than pondering career paths. It became a waiting game, with Jaqi watching for any signs that her daughters might naturally gravitate towards the glitz and glamour that had once surrounded them.
So, she waited for the right time to allow her beautiful and innocent daughters to make their own decision.
Lucky Number Seven
Jaqi believes a lot in signs. According to her, seven is her lucky number. So, it can be considered more than a coincidence that twins came into this world on 7/7. For Jaqi, the universe seemed to be choreographing a cosmic dance, emphasizing the significance of the number seven in her life. It wasn't just a numerical coincidence; it was a serendipitous alignment that reinforced her belief in the power of signs and the magical journey that awaited her family.
As the birthday of twins was approaching, the thought of her daughters turning 7 years old set Jaqi’s brain ablaze.
Presenting Her Idea Forward
As the girls were turning seven, they had developed their own personalities over the years. They were already doing several extracurricular activities like dancing and swimming. The seventh birthday not only marked a milestone in age but also in the blossoming individuality of Ava Marie and Leah Rose. Their personalities, like finely crafted pieces of a puzzle, had become distinct, each contributing to the vibrant tapestry of their household. With a flair for dancing and a knack for swimming, the dynamic duo was turning seven with a zest for life and a kaleidoscope of interests that hinted at the exciting years ahead.
On their birthday, Jaqi said, "I presented my idea to the girls that, if they were up for it, in addition to their dance classes and swim team practices they had every week, they could give modeling a try."
And They Said "Yes"
According to Jaqi, the twins really love performing for almost everybody. From their neighbors to even strangers, they didn’t mind performing for anyone. Their love for performing was contagious, turning every casual encounter into an impromptu stage where the twins would showcase their infectious energy. Whether it was a friendly neighbor or a passerby on the street, Ava Marie and Leah Rose were the pint-sized entertainers who believed in spreading joy one spontaneous performance at a time.
Jaqi said, "I was not surprised at all when they started jumping up and down and couldn't wait to begin!" The twins were all in for modeling.
Starting Again
Jaqi’s neighbor had recently opened a children’s boutique and she was looking for models to help market her new business. As fate would have it, Jaqi's neighbor found herself in the perfect spot to nurture the budding modeling careers of Ava Marie and Leah Rose. The quaint boutique became the stage where the twins' natural charm and fashionable flair took center spotlight, launching them into a local sensation and opening doors to opportunities that would soon go beyond the neighborhood.
Ava and Leah immediately got the job. "Plus, I needed some new photos if I was going to get them an agent so I figured this would be a great opportunity for all of us," Jaqi said.
Taking Things Slow
Jaqi took things slow from the start as she knew that girls were still young and wearing a lot of clothes and putting on loads of makeup could be unfavorable to their development. She opted for a balanced approach, ensuring that the twins' foray into the modeling world didn't overshadow the importance of a normal childhood. Jaqi aimed to cultivate their self-esteem and individuality, allowing them to explore the glamorous world of fashion while embracing the authenticity of their age. In doing so, she set the stage for a modeling journey that harmonized with the girls' growth and personal development.
"I dug out my 10-year-old Nikon camera from a bin in the garage, put a few waves in the girl's hair, dabbed on a little blush, and out we went to take some pictures," said Jaqi.
They Needed a lot of Polishing
Although Ava and Leah had amazing looks, it doesn’t mean that they naturally know how to model. Jaqi learned during her first shoot with the twins that some things take time. Despite their stunning appearances, modeling wasn't an innate skill for Ava and Leah. Jaqi quickly realized during their initial photoshoot that mastering the art of modeling required patience and practice. The journey from adorable toddlers to polished models became a learning process for both the twins and Jaqi, emphasizing the importance of perseverance and growth in the world of fashion.
Jaqi recalled on her experience "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."
Getting Back with An Agency
Jaqi was excited yet worried at getting her girls back with an agent. After all, they were finding a modeling agency after six years. The prospect of re-entering the modeling scene after a six-year hiatus both thrilled and concerned Jaqi. It was a mix of anticipation and apprehension, as she wondered how her girls, now more developed and with their own personalities, would navigate the evolving landscape of the modeling world. Despite the uncertainty, Jaqi remained optimistic, knowing that this next chapter could bring new opportunities and experiences for Ava Marie and Leah Rose.
"I still had a handful of contacts, so I decided to start there," she said. "To my surprise, I heard back from almost every single one asking to set up a time to meet the girls." Although they signed two agencies and were excited, trouble started to brew behind the scenes. Keep on reading to find out more about it.
The Double Agency Problem
Jaqi was looking for more opportunities for her twins and that’s why she thought two agencies representing her daughters would be a great idea. Her quest for greater opportunities for the twins led Jaqi to believe that having two agencies represent her daughters could open doors to a wider spectrum of projects and collaborations. By diversifying their representation, she hoped to maximize the chances for Ava Marie and Leah Rose to showcase their talents in various facets of the modeling industry.
It was going fine until she got a call from one of the agencies. "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. She started to panic as the girls had gone to the same audition with the other agency. Instead of making up any story, Jaqi told them the truth and it didn’t take long for the matter to resolve.
Entering The World of Social Media
Jaqi created an Instagram account for the girls to gain a fanbase and also to serve as a portfolio for agencies. The Instagram account became a visual playground, showcasing the charisma and versatility of Ava Marie and Leah Rose to potential agencies and fans alike. Jaqi strategically used the platform not just as a fanbase builder but also as a dynamic portfolio, ensuring that the digital realm captured the essence of her daughters' journey in the modeling world.
The account called clementstwins was created in – yes you’ve guessed it right – July. The page started to blow up and gathered 300,000 followers in a short time.
The Secret to Gaining Followers on Instagram
Although the beauty of the twins was one of the main reasons behind the success of their Instagram account, another major contributor was a tactic used by Jaqi. Jaqi's clever use of engaging captions and behind-the-scenes glimpses into the twins' lives added an extra layer of charm to their Instagram presence. By weaving a narrative around the everyday adventures of Ava Marie and Leah Rose, she transformed the account from a mere display of beauty to a captivating storytelling platform, fostering a deeper connection with the growing fanbase.
"Now, a little over five months later, the girls have over 380,000 followers," she started. "One thing I know for sure if it’s ALL about the pictures... so don’t settle for an average photographer because you want to save a few dollars." Want to gain followers on Instagram? Take quality pictures!
2017 Belonged to the Twins
Jaqi had a hunch that 2017 was going to their year and it was. The year was excellent for the twins and the family. Her intuition proved spot-on as 2017 unfolded into a banner year for Ava Marie, Leah Rose, and the entire family. The twins' charm and growing success not only elevated their modeling career but also filled the family's life with a whirlwind of exciting opportunities and memorable moments, making Jaqi's hunch an undeniable stroke of fortune.
She explained: "Aside from the fact that I'm a huge believer in signs and have been told by almost everyone that 7 is a lucky number, I just had a feeling that this year was going to be a fun and exciting year for them."
A Talented Family
As Ava and Leah were gaining popularity through modeling, their older brother was also showing his talents to the world. Their older brother's burgeoning talents added another dimension to the family's creative prowess, creating a trifecta of talent that resonated through various artistic expressions. As Ava and Leah soared in the modeling world, their brother's unique abilities contributed to a collective narrative of a family with a diverse and rich tapestry of artistic gifts.

They got six jobs in just a week. It might have tired most little girls, but the twins were eager to do more work.
Learning With Time
Jaqi had no prior knowledge before entering the modeling industry and she is still new to it. She says that she is still learning and there are highs and lows that everyone needs to consider. Jaqi's journey into the modeling industry was a leap into the unknown, and even though she's still navigating this unfamiliar terrain, she emphasizes the ongoing learning process. As she guides her daughters through the highs and lows of the industry, Jaqi remains transparent about the challenges, portraying a genuine and relatable perspective for those who may be considering a similar path.
On her blog, Jaqi mentioned the most important thing she learned so far "is before trusting someone to guide you, make sure you know who you are getting involved with."
Facing Challenges with a Smile
For Jaqi and her twins, one of the major challenges in their new lives in the modeling world is LA’s traffic (which is, by the way, the fifth worst traffic in the country). The notorious LA traffic has become a daily obstacle course for Jaqi and her twins, testing their patience as they navigate the bustling city for various modeling commitments. Despite the traffic woes, the family has mastered the art of turning car rides into bonding moments, creating a unique and cherished part of their modeling journey.
As they have to go into downtown Los Angeles several times a week, their trips can turn into 5 to 6 long tiring hours of traveling.
Getting Guidance From Others
Jaqi is on board with the idea of taking guidance from others, but getting the right advice from the right people is what matters the most to her. Navigating the complexities of the modeling world, Jaqi understands the value of seeking guidance, but she emphasizes the importance of discerning advice from trusted sources. For her, aligning with mentors who share not only industry expertise but also ethical values is key to ensuring a positive and fulfilling journey for her daughters.
She believes in going with her gut feeling and doing thorough research before working with someone.
Ignoring Negativity and Staying Positive
Jaqi has to deal with all the negative comments and backlash that is directed at her and her daughters.

She sees it as an opportunity to teach them valuable lessons about perseverance, resilience, and the importance of staying true to themselves in the face of criticism.
Although she knows that it is best to ignore the negativity, it isn’t as easy as it seems.
A Comment They Frequently Receive
“They look sad” is one of those common comments they receive most of the times. Some even went on to comment that the girls are forced into doing all this. Such comments often overlook the genuine joy and passion the twins have for their activities. Jaqi counters these assumptions by regularly sharing behind-the-scenes moments that showcase the girls' enthusiasm and love for what they do. She emphasizes that their journey is a family decision, grounded in mutual support and the pursuit of the twins' own interests rather than any external pressure.
After receiving such similar comment again and again, Jaqi responded by saying that some photoshoots require to be more solemn than others. And folks, if you ever meet the twins, you’d know that they are happy, jolly girls.
"Are They Wearing Makeup?
One of the most frequently asked questions is that if the girls are wearing makeup or not. Some people have concerns that these girls are too young to be exposed to makeup. Addressing concerns about the use of makeup, Jaqi clarifies that while the girls may occasionally wear light makeup for photoshoots or events, it is done in a controlled and age-appropriate manner. She emphasizes that their exposure to makeup is minimal and guided by a conscious effort to prioritize their well-being and age-appropriate experiences in the modeling world. Jaqi is committed to maintaining a balance that respects the girls' natural development while navigating the demands of the industry.
However, Jaqi clarified in her comment by saying: "in almost 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."
A Comment Jaqi Hates the Most
Jaqi and her family receive a lot of backlash about the modeling career of young twins. One comment that Jaqi hates the most “Let them be girls.” Despite the backlash, Jaqi stands firm in her belief that her daughters' modeling career is a conscious choice made with consideration for their well-being and desires. She sees the modeling journey as an opportunity for the girls to express their individuality while still embracing the essence of being girls in their own unique way. Jaqi remains steadfast in her commitment to ensuring that the girls' experiences in the industry align with their genuine selves and personal growth.
It really annoys Jaqi because she wants people to understand that they are not forced into it. In fact, the twins really like it and that’s how they prefer spending their time.
They Are More Than Just Models
Although it seems like they spend most of their time modeling, in reality, they are still average little girls. Beyond the glamorous facade of the modeling world, Jaqi ensures that her daughters experience a normal childhood, filled with playdates, school activities, and quality family time. The twins, despite their budding modeling career, revel in the simple joys of being average little girls, navigating the balance between the spotlight and the ordinary.
They goof around during photo shoots, like to make music playlists in the car and play games together.
Benefits of Living the Modeling Life
Being a model means spending most of the time traveling, scheduling and doing makeup, but it also helped to bring their family together. While the demands of modeling involve a significant amount of travel, scheduling, and makeup sessions, the experience has inadvertently strengthened the bond within their family.

The Industry Isn’t Cheap
Jaqi wanted to clear it to everyone that just because the twins are getting a lot of modeling jobs, doesn’t mean the family got rich all of a sudden. In fact, it is costing the family in headshots, gas, food, and other expenditures to keep up with this job. Jaqi is keen to clarify that despite the twins' success in landing modeling jobs, it hasn't resulted in the family suddenly becoming wealthy. In reality, the pursuit of the modeling career comes with its own set of costs, including expenses for headshots, travel, food, and other necessities, putting a financial strain on the family as they endeavor to support the twins in their pursuits.
She writes in her blog that: "But 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."
