    iCloud Photo Library needs to be enabled both on your iPhone and on your Mac. And both need a good internet connection and use the same AppleID for iCloud.

    Uploading the photos to iCloud Photo Library from your Mac may take a long time for a large Photos Library. 

    Are you seeing a progress bar on your Mac in the Photos > Preferences > iCloud?

    If still photo need uploading you should be seeing a progress bar. If all Photos are in iCloud, you should be seeing the time of the last update:
