After a mother posted pictures of her identical twins on Instagram, the adorable duo became stars almost overnight. The beautiful girls have since signed up with two modeling agencies and have won dozens of contracts. Plus, they did up to six jobs during the week just before Christmas in 2017.

Known as The Clements Twins, Leah Rose and Ava Marie, now 9 years old, have more than 1.2 million followers since their mom, Jaqi Clements, started an Instagram account for them in July 2017.

The then-7-year-old twins’ pictures immediately won the hearts of Instagram users. Some among the girls’ fans have described them as “so beautiful,” “really truly gorgeous girls,” “absolutely stunning." Some even dubbed them as “the most beautiful girls in the world.”

The girls, based in LA and Orange County, have won contracts with children’s clothing brands and magazines.

Prior to signing the contracts, their mother had asked them if they wanted to try modeling.

“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,” the mom wrote in a blog post.

“I was not surprised at all when they started jumping up and down and couldn’t wait to begin.”

It proved that the young girls really love the attention models get. Even though they had up to six jobs in a week before Christmas in 2017, they were “lovin’ every minute!” as Jaqi described it.

Jaqi started posting her daughters’ images when they turned 7.

“This year was different. The girls were different,” she wrote in a blog post.

“They finally had a personality of their own. They loved to perform their dance routines in front of an audience, any audience. They loved to be the center of attention.

“Knowing their personalities now it makes total sense that they would show up early, unannounced, and ready to take on anything.”

In addition, as the girls were born on 7/7/2010, she took their seventh birthday, 7/7/2017, as a sign for starting something different.

“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,” she wrote.

The twin sisters are not the only models in their family. Their brother, Chase Robert, two years older than the girls, is also signed on to the same modeling agencies as his sisters.

The family has made traveling the world their full-time job. That can’t be that bad, can it? Seems like a pretty good deal.
