Thanks so much for that quote, Leslie!

I just contacted the mom, mainly to see about getting in touch with the former daughter-in-law, since I wanted family "photos" in the background and obviously would need permission.

And, wouldn't you know it: "Me and the wife don't get along so well." Great. ...

I've decided that I'll go ahead and do the portrait, sans model release, sans other family members, sans contacting her. I will not be show it in much more than my portfolio, unfortunately, because if I were the wife, I would object to my husband's portrait being shown around (as in shows or a website) without my say-so. I want to be sensitive to that.

Darn.

About your photos: If you change the likeness, I would think you'd be safe.
