"I've always gone to work with my mom and thought, 'This looks so fun. She looks so happy while she's working,'" she told PEOPLE in an exclusive interview in October. "I'd jump in sometimes, and I'd play around with the makeup that her makeup artist would bring." Leni explained that her passion grew stronger after being approached by a modeling agency when she was 12 but she learned that success in the industry all comes down to timing.

"I was freaking out because Brandy Melville was my favorite at the time. It was the only place I went shopping. I said 'Mom, Mom, guess what? Brandy Melville wants me to model. Please, please.' And she was like, 'Absolutely not.' I was really sad about it, but in the end she was right. And I feel like that's what sparked me to want to model more."

She also continues to maintain a good work ethic thanks to her mom and dad, Seal.
