Welcome to Android Central!
You can't, really... the pictures have to be stored somewhere before they're sent, and your phone's gallery app evidently has the ability to read from whatever folder holds those pictures.
You might be able to configure the gallery to exclude that folder, but I can't say for sure unless I know which phone and gallery app you're using.
If you need additional help or have more questions or details to share, please join the site so you can reply in this thread. See
