I am starting to do portrait work and I am allowing the client to purchase copyright-free digital enlargements that would allow them to print up to 11x14" photos. When I sell them this digital file, do I still maintain the copyright? I would like it to be such that I still maintain the copyright while granting them a "license" to reproduce for personal use only.

Thoughts?
 
Unless you guys have legally binding agreement that they should keep your copyright for whatever purpose they might serve then I think your copyright is still intact. Copyright is such a vague issue that you have to settle it beforehand through a lawyer or a court especially if it's part of your business. So you gotta do some paper works first to make it sure.
