Am I able to create an album in "Fotos" on my Macbook- put photos in there and let it auto synch to my I Phone App "Fotos"

Happy New Year, Fishermensfriend,

The usual way to make this happen is to use iCloud Photos. (Sorry about the "Ph," English spelling never makes sense.) iCloud Photos is Apple's way to synchronize the pictures on all you devices, iPhone, iPad, Mac. If you want to sync pictures on multiple devices without using a wire or AirDrop, you need to use the internet-- and iCloud Photos is the system for doing that.

The idea is that, on each device, you turn on iCloud Photos, and all the pictures on each device are copied to Apple's servers asiCloud Photos, mostly without you noticing-- it all happens automatically. So iCloud Photos will have all of your pictures, and then it sends them back to the devices so every Photos app on every device sees the same pictures. If you like, you can choose on each device to only keep smaller copies, saving storage space.

Photos is non-destructive--it maintains your originals completely intact. And it remembers any edits or metadata

that should be added when you view or export it.

And by the way, Photos has pretty good editing tools, but you can actually use other editors like Lightroom from within Photos.

If you setup My Photo Stream on both devices any photo put into the Mac's library will appear in the My Photo Stream on the iPhone. You will have to save the photo from the My Photo Stream to the library on the iPhone manually.

Any photo taken on the iPhone will be automatically imported into the Mac's library when they are on the same LAN.

If you want total automation then Richard.Taylor's method would be best. Actually it's the only automatic method.
