Hi kaycarter94,

It sounds like you're looking to recover your pictures and videos from your old iPhone. I would want to keep my Photos content safe too, and I'll help you take care of this situation.

When she said she saved it to iCloud, do you know if she uploaded them to the iCloud Photo Library and then signed out of iCloud?
If she used iCloud Photo Library, the pictures should be saved to your iCloud account, and any iPhone with iCloud Photo Library enabled will automatically receive those pictures.

You can check to see if they're there by going to the iCloud website and signing in. You can click Photos and see them there.
Here's more info on checking them online:
iCloud: Access your photos and videos on iCloud.com

If your content is there, you'll just need to make sure you're signed in to the correct Apple ID on your new iPhone, and go to Settings > Photos, and enable iCloud Photo Library.
Here's more on how to do that and how it works:
iCloud Photo Library - Apple Support

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities
