Can I recover photos on a soft bricked phone?

My Verizon SCH-I535 was getting an OTA update when my cat knocked my phone over and the battery came out, now my phone keeps getting stuck on the Verizon splash screen. I don't mind following the soft brick instructions to get rid of it but my worry is that I have some photos on there that I would like to recover. Is there a way to get rid of stuck Verizon logo without losing my photos and other data?
