Both devices have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned on, and any Personal Hotspot is disabled?

You can also try holding the devices together to share the photos via AirDrop.


Setting AirDrop to "Everyone for 10 Minutes." in the Control Center of your devices may help as well, if the iPhone does not detect your iPad.
