I no longer want past daycare provider to use my children's photos...

[Inspired by Reggio]

I would try the email approach first, and just politely request that since the children are no longer a part of the group that you no longer wish to have the children's images used for advertizing, give her a reasonable amount of time to reply and comply ... my guess is she would hopefully do the right thing and respect your wishes she likely just did not realize you would mind ... I still use images from children who are no longer with my group so that my website shows the 'history' of the daycare so to speak but if a client asked for theirs to be removed I would totally respect that!

If for some reason she does not than I would go a more formal route and find out what your rights are having 'signed the consent' in the first place can you change it ~ cause personally I have no clue how that works cause I just personally would never want to 'force' a client to continue to have their image associated with my program so never looked into it!

I personally have right on my consent form for photos/digital images that clients sign so that they know to avoid any issues ... "Parents reserve the right to withdraw consent, in writing, at anytime in the future. Where possible, every effort will be made to withdraw or digitally alter any child’s image already in use in as quick a manner as possible."

There are some ways that I use images that once consented to I would not be able to 'get the image back' ... aka I have done professional development workshops or written professional journal articles for my professional association where images of the program and therefore 'children' were used to help others understand how emergent curriculum looks in a home childcare setting and so forth ... a client who consents to something like that has to respect and understand that once handouts are made and distributed they are 'out there' so to speak I cannot retract the publication ... but personal advertizing and website use for sure easy peasy
