"I would go to the fountain near the Galleria"
That is the Williams Tower, and the charge is around $200.00 so do not use a tripod and don't give out cards. There are times that being just a person with a camera is very good.

Have fun,
Wayne

I would go to Hermann Park. You have the park, the zoo, the Japenese Gardens, more options than you could shoot in one day with one model..all within a 5 minute walk...and my favorite part...FREE (no tripods, no light boxes, etc.)

If you are shooting at the Japanese Gardens and they think you are a professional you will be ask to leave, the city of Houston has a $250.00 charge for that location for professionals, again, don't use a tripod and look like an amature.
