Sadly, all but a small handful, gone.
I only play the one save - started it when I bought the game in 2014! Can't restore the computer from a system point as I would lose some real life work by doing that.
Was very odd. All was fine when I saved and quit yesterday. Loaded up today and all photos were black. I had changed nothing in the meantime and the play session I had yesterday was pretty innocuous stuff - just feeding em and putting em to bed ready for today's play.
In the end it's a first world problem so I will just carry on, but from now on I will save all building edits to my library as restoring from the local library does work.
Main hassle now is removing the black pictures because they look terrible.
I have had a little play with the tuts kindly posted by @Stormkeep above and its pretty easy to do. Main issue is that all the tutorials use a painting frame as the base and so you would end up with all photos done this way in the build/buy.
During my hunt for a solution I came across an interesting mod available on littlemissam's tumblr that allows you to drop a photo into a frame and place it on a desk, but it is very small. I am curious as to how it was done though. Apparently it works with screenies as well, but I haven't tried it yet. Link if anyone is interested (second post down):
