You are using Time Machine and have a backup of your entire system, like you should, right?

Otherwise you could try Filesalvage but you'll have to buy it and success is not guaranteed.

Unless you used secure empty trash the data is probably still there unless your HD is really full. TechToolPro has a data recovery tool, which specifically mentions recovery of trashed items. I recommend you do not use the computer at all until you have recovered the pix, every time you do anything your data risks being over-written.
