Restoring from a specific backup?

Is there a way to retrieve a previous backup from several days /backups ago? Was having issues with phone so did a back-up. Noticed that phones were not enabled to back up so I turned on iCloud photos and backed up again. After a back up, I did a restore to see if the issue I was having would be fixed. I just went to find some photos that I had and noticed that none of my photos were on my phone. I'm not sure what happened. Is there a way to go back and restore from a specified back up? Trying to see if my photos are stored on one of the previous backups. :-(
