This is what I did and got my photos back. I had the same problem today and had just updated Facebook app and then suddenly got spit out of mail app. Rebooted and lost all my photos. Did not have iCloud. My solution:
1. on iPhone settings Mail, Contacts, Calenders - iCloud - contacts set to off
2. on PC, downloaded and opened up iCloud panel.
3. signed in with my Apple ID.
4. chose to only upload Outlook contacts, calenders and tasks
5. wait till everything is on the cloud
6. on iPhone settings Mail, Contacts, Calenders - iCloud - contacts now set to on
7. set calenders to on
8. look in contacts and they are all there
