Loving memories: Cindy Crawford Saturday took to Instagram to wish her daughter Kaia a happy 15th birthday

Daddy dance: Kaia's dad Rande Gerber also posted a sentimental shot as his daughter's teen years continue to fly by

The stunning couple, who also have a 17-year-old son named Presley Gerber (who's also a model), welcomed their youngest child exactly eight days before the September 11, 2001 attacks.

The teen has seen her star rise this year with her first role in a film, Lifetime's Sister Cities.

In the TV movie, Kaia plays the younger incarnation of Carolina, one of four sisters who are brought together following their untimely death of their mother, dancer Mary Baxter.

The film also features Troian Bellisario, Stana Katic, Michelle Trachtenberg, Jess Weixler and Alfred Molina, professionals who Kaia told E! News were very encouraging as she shook off jitters in her first foray into acting.

'I was more nervous than I usually am,' the teen told the outlet at the film's premiere at Hollywood's Paramount Theater Wednesday. 'But I think it was just such a warm cast and everyone on set was super-nice that they just made it super-easy and amazing.'

Kaia said that in addition to an 'amazing acting coach,' she received advice from her mother - who had a feature role in the 1995 action romance Fair Game, opposite William Baldwin - about how to conduct herself on-set.

'She told me more about being on time, being professional but I think it just comes down to your own instincts,' Kaia told the outlet.

Despite her welcoming experience into the acting world, Kaia, who is repped by IMG Models, said that her chief focus remains on the runway - a path that led her mother to international fame as one of the famed original supermodels of the 1990s.

'I'm focusing a lot on modeling right now,' Kaia said, noting that she's 'not closing any doors to anything.'

...NOW GET ONE LIKE IT FOR LESS

The young beauty told the outlet that in addition to her mother, she looks to fellow celeb models Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid as role models for how to handle the limelight, as she said the girls are 'unaffected' by their overwhelming success.

'It's just shown me how you can still have this crazy amount of fame but be nice and not lose that humility.'

Kaia's acting debut in Sister Cities airs Saturday, September 17 on Lifetime at 8 p.m.
