What made you want to become an entrepreneur?
TW: As a child I loved fashion, I’d like to say “it’s in me not on me” jokingly, I love to dress and style. I had my first job at sixteen and from there I knew I wanted to be on my own time.
What was the first step you took in putting your vision into motion?
TW: Getting into modeling and music videos were the first steps I took into breaking into the entertainment business. Entertainment goes hand in hand with fashion, it’s one big circle and I loved the fact that I could make my own schedule. Building exposure for you and your brand helps with marketing your business a lot.
What risks did you take with your business?
TW: I took risks by investing the last of my funds several times into my business. I’ve worked long days and nights without sleep because I rarely say “no” to a booking. The more I’m booked the more people I encounter. The more people I encounter the more clientele I receive.
What’s the best way to build your business and still keep yourself afloat financially?
TW: Stay focused on working towards your goals and focus on what’s important.
Top 3 things you would tell young females aspiring to own their own boutiques one day?
TW: Pray, Listen, and Act on it!
What sets “She Picture Perfect” boutique and brand apart from the rest?

Photography has the power to capture what words often cannot. In his latest project, ESSENCE, renowned photographer Panthers Leap transforms abstract concepts of growth and renewal into a series of images that speak directly to the heart.
ESSENCE is a meditation on life’s continuous cycles of change and transformation. Through a visual narrative that mirrors the rhythms of nature and the human experience, Panthers Leap invites reflection and introspection.
“Growth isn’t always loud or dramatic,” Panthers Leap shares. “It’s often subtle, almost imperceptible, but incredibly powerful. ESSENCE is about celebrating those quiet moments that shape who we are.”
Inspired by his deep connection to the natural world, Panthers Leap weaves emotion and meaning into every frame. His masterful use of lighting, texture, and detail highlights life’s smallest yet most transformative moments. Subtle shifts in light and intricate natural patterns encourage viewers to pause and appreciate the beauty of impermanence.
At its core, ESSENCE explores universal themes—renewal, resilience, and the quiet strength found in transformation. By embracing challenges and finding beauty in transitions, Panthers Leap reminds us of the grace inherent in life’s cycles.
“There’s a grace in change, even in the hardest moments,” he explains. “ESSENCE is a reminder that every challenge carries the seed of renewal, every ending the promise of a new beginning.”
For Panthers Leap, this project is deeply personal, reflecting his own journey of growth and transformation as an artist. The result is a collection of photographs that resonates with authenticity and inspires viewers to embrace their journeys with grace and optimism.
In today’s fast-paced world, ESSENCE challenges us to slow down, find beauty in gradual progress, and honor the cycles that shape our lives.
Let ESSENCE be your invitation to pause, reflect, and find meaning in the quiet power of transformation.
