I have a 2-part photo release form. The first part, I pretty much say they must sign, as taking photos for documentation is essential to the way I teach. It gives permission for me to take photos and video to use for curriculum development and documentation, children's portfolios, our private blog (families only), and when I do trainings for other teachers. It also includes not-easily-identifiable photos (i.e. back of head, cropped hands, etc) of kids at play for use on my facebook business page. The second part I ask them to sign only if they feel comfortable doing it, and includes using photos for marketing, including full-face photos on facebook.
