The answer

If you are inclined to believe that photography is forbidden, then act upon that for yourself, and do not object to those who differ with you, because the disagreement regarding the permissibility of photography is valid. Accordingly, you may give your brother your mother's phone with her pictures on it, and you may remain silent about your father keeping your pictures. If you do speak to him about it, let it be with respect.
