There some strange things happened from Lumia side. The photos are disapearing from the phone. Is there problem of the phone or memory card, that serves only 12 months.
Were your photos saved on your SD Card? The SD Card may be starting to fail already (the most probable cause). Consider testing a different SD Card and see if the issue persists.
