This is also an excellent point.
Here, your employer could maintain that since you took the pictures
while in their employ (and on the clock) the photographs are a "work
made for hire" and, in fact, they own the copyright and you have no
claim to them at all. Since you are not a professional photographer and
they (I assume) had no expectation that you would be taking these
photographs it gets a little foggy.
