photos not loading up on my macbook pro

Perhaps you may have to check and maybe change settings

if you've used iCloud Photo &/or other means to transmit

images from iPhone to a Mac. Many other things are shared

across wireless or other connections between iDevice + Mac.

• Photos User Guide for Mac (Table of Contents) - Apple Support

https://support.apple.com/guide/photos/toc

There also is an older article, with updates; about Continuity

settings for most anything that may need checked & reset.

And this is a newer article..

• Use Continuity to work across Apple devices - Apple Support

https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/use-continuity-across-your-devices-mchl1d734309/11.0/mac/11.0

an older one has recent updates, too..

• Use Continuity to connect your Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple Watch - Apple Support

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204681

Even how the Mac uses Data can affect the iPhone and images.

These are all over the place, in more than few locations in both.

If you test items through Continuity, one of them is AirDrop.

That should work in near proximity; a code is used to enable.

{..That's not likely to be an answer, so much as example..}

Sorry to not have kept notes after multi weeks of torment

in hunting down 'iCloud' issues; across three devices, etc.

Good luck & happy trails! ☺︎

Old issue, new issue , what changed—

My understanding is "Photo stream" has not worked for awhile now...
