A minor (child) photo release form is a written authorization that grants permission to take photos of a child. The parent or legal guardian of the child will be required to authorize, as will the releasee.
There is no law preventing people from taking photographs in public. This includes taking photos of other people's children. If you are taking photographs from private land, you need to have the land owner's permission.
In most cases, you will need to obtain permission from the person holding the rights to the image.
Although the photographer does own the copyright for the photographs, they cannot use the photographs publicly without your permission if the photographs have been commissioned for private or domestic purposes (such as a family photo shoot or a wedding.)
Photography consent forms for minors are required in daycare, summer camps, youth sports activities, children's auditions and talent shows. Daycares and schools use photo release forms to obtain permission from parents or guardians to use their child's photographs from school activities or theatrical performances.
DO ask for permission if you're about to invade someone's privacy, intimate moment. DON'T need to ask for permission if you're taking photographs in a public place. DO carry your professional business cards, it's the easiest way to ask for permission.
I give permission to take photographs and / or video of my child. I grant full rights to use the images resulting from the photography/video filming, and any reproductions or adaptations of the images for fundraising, publicity or other purposes to help achieve the group's aims.
However, photo releases should contain the following components: Names. Names of both parties should be included in a photo release to properly identify who is either granting or receiving permission to use the photos. Terms. Description of the shoot. Agreement statement. Dated signature.
An injunction is a court order to stop doing something. So, you can file for an injunction in court regarding her posting pictures of your children. This is more difficult and costly than Small Claims, so you would want an attorney's assistance.
As images are shared more and more, there is a good chance that a picture of you could be posted without your consent or knowledge. If you took the photo, you usually own it. But, if you didn't take the photo but you are in it, someone could breach your rights (such as data protection or privacy rights) by posting it.
