If you've got the permission of the people depicted in the photos, it shouldn't be a problem. (*assuming the permission allows for commercial use of the images).
As the photographer, you own the copyrights in the photos, so you're free to sell them, license them, etc. Just be sure you can actually produce those permission documents if anybody complains.
