Hi Monita99, maybe you have a storage optimization option turned on. I'm now explaining you have to change your Photos' storage setting.

On your Mac:

  1. Open the Photos app and click Photos in the menu bar.
  2. Click Preferences.
  3. Go to the iCloud tab and choose a storage setting.

If you turn on Optimize Storage, iCloud Photo Library automatically manages the size of your library on your device. Your original photos and videos are stored in iCloud and space-saving versions are kept on your device. Your library is optimized only when you need space, starting with the photos and videos you access least. You can download the original photos and videos over Wi-Fi or cellular when you need them. You can use Optimize Storage on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac.


If it doesn't help, please login on iCloud.com, where you're able to retrieve Photos which "disappeared" from your device: iCloud: Access your photos and videos on iCloud.com - Apple Support
