Our Policies
Please read the following before your session;
1. Cheeky Smiles Photography retains copy right of all images captured, edited and created. With purchase of images you are purchasing any and all print rights to said images.
2. Please when uploading to social media do not crop/alter or add filters in any form that changes the image/s in any way. We also encourage using watermarked images or crediting Cheeky Smiles Photography.
3. Depending our workload, all sessions have a three (3) week turn around time. We do appreciate your patience during the editing stage. Should you require images urgently (eg for Birthday invites, birth announcements etc) please let us know at your session and we will send a high resolution, print ready image for this purpose.
4. If ordering a USB or product with your session, we order these as soon as we can and are not responsible for production/processing or postage delays. We do allow an additional two (2) weeks for these and if we are aware of delays we will keep you up to date. Again, your patience is much appreciated.
5. Edited images are final. We do a thorough cull of the images and edit the best. To assure we capture the images you will proudly print and display here are a few helpful tips to consider when booking;
-Book a time when all parties are happiest (eg After a meal/nap etc)
-Bring something familiar- a favourite toy/blanket/book that baby will enjoy having with them. These photograph well and assist baby being comfortable with us until they decide we're ok and can be removed when they're ok for that.
-Bring a drink- being cute is hard and thirsty work!
6. Outdoor Sessions; Family, Maternity, Kids/Siblings
- Outdoor location is client choice
- Best booked later in the afternoons when the light is not harsh
- We prefer hats, sunglasses and phones be kept in the car
7. Newborn Sessions-
These are best booked in the 1st 7-16 days while baby are still sleepy and more tolerant to posing.
Baby Only sessions are strictly baby only. No parent or sibling images are offered with these.
Full sessions include parent, family and sibling images.
8. All sessions are delivered via digital download from a private online gallery. Images can only be downloaded to a PC/Laptop. If you do not have access to either and do not wish to purchase a USB you can supply your own. We require at least 4GB 3.0.
9. We take great pride in our work and only provide images we are proud of. If there are any discrepancies with your gallery, please speak to us privately so we can amend the image/s and resolve the issue.
10. Once your gallery has been delivered there is a 7 day period of which we keep the RAW files. After these 7 days we assume you are happy and any issues can not be rectified.

12. All sessions have a minimum amount of images supplied- in most cases you do receive more but this is not guaranteed. Images are given in colour and black/white copies excluding Newborn sessions- We shoot black and white specific images but let you know during your session.
13. Newborn Digital Art- every Newborn Session includes three (3) digital images. If additional images are requested they incur a $35 fee EACH. Selection can be made by visiting www.luisadunnphotograhy.com/shop
