Greetings MJPHelp, 


Typically the items you are describing are synced with iCloud, not stored in an iCloud backup. Let’s try to verify that for your device. From a computer browser, please log in to the iCloud website and verify if you see your photos and contacts here. iCloud


If so, then on your iPhone be sure it is connected to Wi-Fi and go to Settings > your name > iCloud. Are Contacts and Photos toggled on? 


Thanks.
