You're in kind of a 'catch-22' situation. Most Small Claims courts can only hear money claims and cannot force specific performance.

However, if you have paid the photographer to provide the pictures, you can sue for breach of contract and recover of the funds you paid. The photographer will probably offer to provide the pictures when notified of the lawsuit, or will offer to resolve the judgment if/when rendered.

Contact the Small Claims court where the contract was entered into.
