What happens? Can you open your Photos Library but File>Import is grayed out? It's important if you can open the Library, because the library is updated and modified when starting a new OS version.
How are you trying to import the pictures? Do you use a USB cable? If so, does Photos pop up? Have you tried using the app Image Capture that's in the Applications folder? Do you sync your library using iCloud?
How are your Photos preferences set?
In Photos>Preferences>General,
Is "Use as System Photo Library" grayed out (indicating it is) or solid (indicating this isn't your system library)?
Is "Copy Item to the Photos Library" checked? (This is the default, indicating a "Managed Library")
In Photos>Preferences>iCloud
Is "iCloud Photos" checked?
If it is, is "Optimize Mac Storage" check?
Have you tried these first steps?
Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support
One of these steps may fix the problem, but their failure to work is also diagnostic.
