Question
I have a 9 month old and would like to get her into modeling. I've called San Antonio agents but they want babies 3 years and up. I was a child model myself and know it's best to pursue this now. I'm willing to travel within Texas and would like suggestions on agencies who are interested in babies.
Unfortunately, you are bound by the age restrictions each individual agency sets for themselves. You can still call the agencies who represent children, to see what the lowest age is that they'll consider. If they say they do not represent babies, ask them if they know of an agency who does - as a referral can be terrific. Of course, if no one knows of an agency in Texas who does represent babies, you may have to consider either waiting, or moving to a larger market with your daughter.
Here's a few agencies who I know represent children in Texas (below)
Good luck to you,

Experience
Both my acting and modeling resume/portfolio is available online on my website. I am a member of the Screen Actors Guild, and also have available my actor's demo reel and voice-over demo online. I founded both the Florida-Models.com and Florida-Actors.com websites, which provide free modeling and acting info to the public. I have moved into directing, producing and screenwriting - and have won awards for my writing. I have worked in the industry as both a model and actress in Florida, New York City and Los Angeles until October 2007. I now reside in Europe.
