If the images are used without permission with no releases in place, then yes. However, I would not even consider paying for a portrait session if it didn't include a (royalty-free) print-release, at minimum.
If paying a premium, I'd also expect a copyright-release (full ownership of the images). Basically, it's sort of a sliding scale between money and image control/ownership, with and several rights-managed options therein.
On the photog side, you would likely want model/property releases to CYA.
