JEA MODEL MANAGEMENT...

was established 2013 in Jackson, MS and was named after its owner Jamie Elyse Ainsworth.  Jamie has been actively involved in the modeling and fashion industry for over 20 years, with experience as a model, fashion stylist, creative director, event producer, and model coach. This experience and knowledge enhances the development and career guidance of JEA Models.

JEA Model Management is a mother agency with an eye for scouting models for placement in larger markets. The vision of JEA is to train and develop talent, not only for booking local work, but also for regional, national and international work. JEA models are carefully selected, and we work closely to manage and guide our models to reach their full potential. We are proud to say that JEA models have been placed with some of the world’s top agencies and have worked with top international brands.

“I believed that the world was missing out on our unique southern beauties. I created JEA to help our models in the south by providing connections to gain exposure and to have the opportunity to reach their career goals.” - Jamie

In March 2021, Jamie launched the creative division, JEA Style. Coming full circle to what started JEA Models and made it successful, Jamie has discovered that her passion lies in creativity and styling. Moving forward in this journey, she has signed other stylists and JEA now provides creative services such as wardrobe styling, virtual styling, hair and makeup, event styling, set design, and creative direction to businesses or individuals wishing to create their own unique look.

“I’ve been a stylist since I was in high school, starting with organizing closets and personal shopping. I was blown away when my first client paid me to do this and I was only 18. Creating shoots that meet client needs, watching as they smile and build confidence has become the most rewarding side of my job. I used to joke that I should hold a sign “will work for smiles”. If only, right!?! Being creative has always been my passion. I am so proud of what I have accomplished thus far and thankful for the clients that saw my potential.” - Jamie

Since then, JEA has grown in many ways by expanding the boards, divisions, agents, & team. JEA is also a booking agency for lifestyle, commercial, fashion models & talent. By providing more divisions, JEA has broadened their reach to many clients and has booked models from regional to international work.

“We celebrated our 10 year anniversary in February 2023 and I still cannot believe it has been that long. Time really does fly! It has been such a fun journey and I am excited to see what else God has in store for JEA!” - Jamie
