Hi Norplan--
Have you tried turning on your "My Photo stream" under iPad settings? You will need to do this to both your iPhone and iPad. Assuming you have an iPhone.
If so, go to iPad Settings>Photos & Camera>My Photos Stream>turn on
Otherwise, if is a non-iphone, you can email pics or use apps such as dropbox or Google drive to upload your pics and upload to or from your iPad to your iPhone or vice versa.
