Copyrights default to the creator BUT not in this case.

heres how it works. When a photographer shoots a model he owns a copyright on those photos and she owns a copyright on her image.

The purpose of a model release id to reassign her rights to the photographer. If the model release is properly worded it is air tight. If you don't have a model release you will lose, but so will she because neither of you can use the content without the others consent.
