Make sure you are using the same Apple ID you were before, and make sure you have your iCloud settings activated, particularly for photos. Change which apps sync and store data with iCloud - Apple Support


The above also presumes you had iCloud activated on the old iPad too so the photos could be synced to your iCloud/Apple ID account first.
