A Factory Restore will completely reset the iPad - and in so doing will erase all locally stored data. However, if all your photos are in your iPad Photo Library - and you have enable Photos in iCloud, your photos can simply be accessed from iCloud when you set-up the iPad again after the reset has been performed.
