A release is permission given by the person/people visible in the photo or the owners of property, brand or artwork that has been photographed. You may need to have a photo release form signed to be able to sell a photo, depending on the type of license your photo gets sold with.

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.

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.

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.)
