Hold down the option key and click
iPhoto. It will give you a choice of libraries to open. Most likely
The new pics were put into a new library. This happened last night to a girl at my work. We just opened the original library and reimported the new pics.
 
Hold down the Option key when starting iPhoto. You'll be presented with a dialog box to Choose Photo Library, click the Choose Library... button and navigate to your User folder, to the Pictures folder and select iPhoto Library, click the Open button. That should get you back to your original iPhoto Library.
