Disabled iPhone - Save photos before resetting device

My sister has accidently disabled her iPhone.


The iPhone is asking her to connect to iTunes to restore access to the phone. When connecting the iPhone to the PC via USB, iTunes states that it cannot connect to the iPhone because it's locked with a passcode.


To get around this we put the iPhone into recovery mode and connected it again. This time we were given the option to restore the iPhone to its factory settings. The issue with this is that she does not want to lose photos that are saved to the device and is unsure that they have been saved in a backup.


Is there any way to get the pictures off of the iPhone without restoring it to factory settings? Only the pictures are required. We're struggling to find a way to do this without a passcode.


Thanks,

Joel
