A mother of identical twins has rapidly turning her daughters into rising stars just months after opening an Instagram account for them.
Seven-year-old Leah Rose and Ava Marie who are based in LA and Orange County have amassed 139,000 followers since their mother Jaqi Clements started posting images of her two girls back in July.
Known as The Clements Twins, they’re signed to two modelling agencies and are now winning contracts with children’s clothing brands and magazines after their mother asked them if they wanted to try modelling.
‘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,’ she wrote in a blog post. ‘I was not surprised at all when they started jumping up and down and couldn’t wait to begin.’
Just before Christmas they did six jobs in the space of a week and according to their mother, they’re ‘lovin’ every minute!’.
The girls have been described as ‘absolutely stunning’, ‘so beautiful’ and ‘really truly gorgeous girls’ by followers with some even branding them ‘the most beautiful girls in the world’.
However, some have questioned whether they are wearing make-up in various pictures.

The sisters aren’t the only models in the family either, as their mother has also opened an Instagram account for their brother Chase Robert.
He’s also signed to the same modelling agencies as his sisters, although his following is much more modest at just over 2,000.
Their mother first signed the girls up as models when they were six months old, but trying to juggle the twins with her two-year-old son meant it wasn’t the right time.
However, when the girls turned seven on 7/7/17, she took it as a sign.
The girls have won dozens of contracts, posing for children’s clothing brands and magazines
Both girls love performing and jumped at the chance when their mother suggested modelling

‘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 preform their dance routines in front of an audience, any audience. They loved to be the center of attention
‘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.
The girls have joined the ranks of young models being hailed as the world’s more beautiful children, including Anna Pavaga from Russia who has amassed 464,000 Instagram followers and appeared in Vogue, all at the tender age of eight.

French model Thylane Blondeau, who is now 16, was famously called the most beautiful girl in the world after appearing on the cover of Vogue Enfants at the age of six.
The youngster, who is the daughter of footballer Patrick Blondeau and presenter Véronika Loubry, had begun modelling at the age of just four, appearing on the catwalk for designer Jean Paul Gaultier.
In 2011, at the age of 10, she became the youngest ever model to star in Vogue Paris in a shoot that proved to be controversial.

Critics suggested the photographs, which showed Thylane wearing make-up and adult clothing, sexualised the youngster.
Thylane is now signed with modelling agency IMG, is a brand ambassador for L’Oréal, and has been named the face of a perfume by French designer Lolita Lempicka.
The model appeared on the front row at a number of shows during fashion week, as well as walking the catwalk for Dolce & Gabanna in Milan.
The beauty recently confessed the most valuable piece of advice her famous parents gave her was to ‘always be herself’.
‘My mum is always with me, and I’m always consulting her,’ she explained to W magazine.
