Default Help with transferring pictures

Hi all, just a question and I'm hoping someone will be able to tell me what's the best possible way of doing this.

My girlfriend and I both have iphone 5's, I have a Macbook which is all connected to my phone via icloud.

Now, my girlfriend has only just got her new phone and all her information and pictures are on her iphone 4. She doesn't have a laptop/computer so what's the best way to get all these pictures off her old phone and onto her new without sending them 1 by 1?

Is there a way to do it using my Macbook without mucking up all my phone and Mac settings, etc...?

Back up the 4 with iCloud, then set up the 5 from iCloud.

Plug Phone in, close itunes, open camera folder on phone, select all photos, select copy, select destination, select paste.

It is that easy on windows, unsure about mac os.

Check and see if a phone back up through iTunes will backup pictures, would like to think it would do so. In which case, plug in the 4, back it up, plug in the 5, restore, wham, settings come across.

I use the Disk Aid app (third party app, is a free trail version availble) to add and copy off music and photos from my 3GS when at work, seems to work fine.
