    Also:
    if you know that the client was given full copyright, then you can ask the client for permission to use images etc. for portfolio. Typically once all bills/accounts have been paid in full the copyright will be transfered to the client. Usually they will like you to use it, as it is more advertising for them.

    Also:
    A work is technically copywritten as soon as it is in tangible form by the artist/author. However until it is registered with the US copyright office http://www.loc.gov then it is not official and can still be stolen by another party. I am more farmiliar with this in songwriting or music, but it is pretty much the same. A work doesn't have as much legal protection until registered.
