Startup in Safe Mode, followed by a normal restart and try opening Photos.

It is normally to get a little beach-balling if you have a large Photos Library and a slow 5400rpm Hard Drive. If it takes more that a minute or so, open Activity Monitor in Applications > Utilities and look for a unresponsive or a failed process.

EtreCheck is a good hardware and software checker. Just download and run it, then post back here with the Report.
