Baleigh, who now lives in Medford, Oregon, had previously modeled for Traci when she told the photographer about the idea of a blind date photoshoot, as she was single at the time.
Traci “loved” the pitch and started to work on an advertisement, asking Baleigh “some small details on what [she] was looking for in a man.”
Afterward, Traci made multiple posts on social media platforms, calling for a model who met all the expectations they were looking for.
“She had LOTS of people reach out to her but in the end decided Lane was the most fit,” Baleigh said.

The photoshoot took place in a park located in Medford. Beforehand, the Oregon native met Traci in her shop to get styled before heading to the site to decide on a few poses and ideas.
Meanwhile, Lane geared up for a four-hour drive to the location and was instructed to wear a blindfold upon arrival. He was then guided to where Baleigh was standing, who was also blindfolded.
“At this point, we were standing back to back, doing some small talk before we saw each other for the first time,” she said.
While nerves were definitely present before the big reveal, they all melted away once the shoot started

The moment seemed perfect once the blindfolds were taken off.
