Do my photos and contacts save at all?

I am getting a new SIM soon and I really needed to know if anything at all will be saved on the SIM I have currently..

IPhones do not store anything on the SIM.

The only items that would be on the SIM are the items placed by - and used by - your carrier.

Does changing the SIM card between iPhone alters the photos in each phone? this is probably a silly question but oh well i have had 2 phones that i've been using for a while. one was my phone for everyday use (has a sim card) and the other i've just been using for photography purposes (doesn't have a sim card) since the camera is better. but now i want to just go ahead and move over to the other phone completely so my question is: once i move my sim card from phone #1 to phone #2, will all the pictures i took on #2 stay? or will putting in the sim card from #1 somehow make it so the photos on #1 transfer and my #2 pictures go away? sorry if thats silly to ask. im not sure if thats a thing that happens or not, i just wanted to be sure before i just went ahead and did it. thanks in advance!
