If you had iCloud Photos turned on you can turn it on again and the photos will sync with the phone. If not sure if it was on, log into www.icloud.com -- if you can see the photos there, that is from iCloud Photos. Also see: See instructions in Set up and use iCloud Photos - Apple Support


If you didn't have iCloud Photos turned and you restore from a backup, the photos will restore. See: Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support
