Have you considered using iCloud Photos to synchronise photos between your Mac and iPad?

Set up and use iCloud Photos - Apple Support


Alternatively, you might use AirDrop:

Use AirDrop on your Mac - Apple Support


A further option is to use a physical USB storage device to transfer a copy of your photos from the Mac to your iPad. To do so, you’ll need a USB adapter appropriate for your model of iPad. For iPad models with a Lightning connector, you’ll need an Apple Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter:

If you have a newer model iPad with a USB-C connector, you’ll need a third-party USB-C hub that incorporates USB Type-A ports, or an Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter:
