So, I created a new partition, which then allowed me to use the 'Repair MFT' tool, but TestDisk said the original and mirror were both bad.

Why ? Never, ever play on the original drive if you don't know what you are doing. Some utils would probably be able to restore the original filesystem - but now that you made a new FS on it, it is probably lost forever.
 
Probably the most easiest solution to do is to get yourself another high-capacity external drive and use data recovery tools like GetDataBack to extract to this secondary drive.

Then, dump the data back onto your old drive and return the one you just got for this operation, or better yet, keep it and use it as a backup because if your data is as important to you as I think it is (pictures and such are pretty important, IMO), then do that. :)
