The phones screen is busted but turns on, and I have some personal photos that I placed in private files that I'd like to recover. Any way to recover those photos myself at home?

If they were saved on the internal phone memory, then the answer is NO. There is nothing you can do to rescue items lost from there unless you have backups.
If they were saved on your SD of the Android phone, then the answer is YES and chances of recovery can be 100% as long as the data contained in the files are not overwritten or damaged. Why? Because there are some Android data recovery programs special designed to deal with.
So to recover lost photos from Android phones means card recovery. You just need to connect your phones to you Mac and use data recovery program to scan your sd card. Lost data can be easily got back.
