OK. I know if you are going to use pictures of someone (a model) in advertising, stock, or whatever, you need a model release (if only to cover your butt).

But what about with clients with whom you are only taking pictures for their use? For example, a family for whom you are doing studio portraits, or a couple for whom you are doing prom portraits. Would you need a model release for them? If yes, would a "short form" release work in this situation as well as a long and detailed release?

I'm not sureif I've asked this right, so if I get a lot of "huh?" 's in response, I'll try to rephrase. :)

I have all of my portrait clients sign a contract which basically says I have the right to display their shots for purposes of my own advertising in my studio, office, website or other location as I need.

If I think there is any stock value in the shots I will have them sign a standard model release as well.
