We also agree that she will be buying some unlimited rights for an unlimited time, such as to use the images as many times as she wants, in any sizes she wants, and in any locations she wants.
I am not an attorney and you might need one. My take is that you are
NOT retaining the copyright under the conditions stated. My wife is an oil painter, and about the only time this comes up in our household is when she is asked to do a poster for an art festival. T shirts, coffee cups, unlimited poster reproduction, you name it. She just tells them,"I wasn't looking for work when you called me". Get someone else. AFAIK she has never lost an opportunity because of her response.
