If the pictures are only on the iPhone and if the phone is passcode locked and you don't know the passcode, there isn't any way for Apple to recover them; but if they were synced to iCloud then Apple can help. See the information in How to request access to a deceased family member's Apple account - Apple Support

including the following:

Please note that devices locked with a passcode are protected by passcode encryption, and Apple can't help remove the passcode lock without erasing the device.
