Hi Patricia,
I'll do some research for you. Houston is not the hotbed of activity that Dallas has become. Foleys is the main catalog client.
Kids work according to size only. The clothing that comes in to shoot are "sample sizes" in other words you will be looking at 3 3T
6 6X. Unfortunately, right now "beauty" is not "in". What is "in" is quirky, ethnic and mixed race. Think very carefully about WHY you want your grand kids in this business. There is a LOT of rejection, a lot of driving and waiting and very little monetary reward at this age.
When kids are this young, it is not their choice , it is yours. You must really search your heart and consider your motivations. If it is only that your grandkids are "beautiful" well, that is not enough.

I'll find the right people to send you to, that are legit and let you know in a day or two. You don't need professional head shots for children this age.
You should not pay any money for anything at this point.

I am a grandmother in the Houston Texas area of a gorgeous 2 year old grandson and equally beautiful 6 month old granddaughter. I am in interested in getting the both into all areas of modeling and/or acting. Any information and guidance will be greatly appreciated. I don't have professional head shot photos at this time, but I do have great snapshots.

Yessica, you start by not paying anyone anything to get into this business! Start sending pictures to agencies, that's the first thing! 1 headshot, 2 body shots - modeling agencies will take kids under 4, acting agencies usually only start around age 4...if you want more info, get my book on Amazon: "Break Into Modeling for Under $20" - GOOD LUCK!
