Hey Laurahayes1,

Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you want to save the photos on iCloud. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

This article gives the option for iOS Mac and Windows. 

Archive or make copies of your iCloud data - Apple Support

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
