How to retrieve lost photos from my iPhone 4s?

My iPhones display went black last night but it was still working as I could hear Siri whenever I held down the home button. However, my lock button is broken so I had to manually restore my iPhone through iTunes.

I had backed up my iPhone about a week beforehand, so I thought that once I had restored my phone to brand new that it would be ok to set it up as a new iPhone and then restore the backup onto my phone. Every time I try to do this, the showing date of the last backup says that it was from today which would mean that if I were to restore it I wouldn't retrieve any of my contacts, photos, etc.

I was wondering if there was any way of being able to select the restore date so I can get my photos back?
