Hello RO 60,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. 


We understand that you want to make a personal album of some photos in a Shared Album. We are happy to help.


While you can organize your photos by albums, there is not a way to have a photo album within a shared photo album. Here’s how to create and manage albums: Organize and find your photos on your Mac - Apple Support

"Create a new album

  1. Open the Photos app.
  2. Choose File > New Album.
  3. Enter an album name, then click Library in the sidebar.
  4. Drag photos and videos from the Photos view into the new album in the sidebar.

You can also create Smart Albums that automatically update based on criteria that you choose. For example, you can create a Smart Album filled with photos taken in the last 30 days. Choose File > New Smart Album, enter an album name, and then choose the conditions that you want to use.


Manage your albums

If you want to change the name of an album, Control-click the album, then select Rename Album. Change the name, then press the Return key.

To rearrange your albums, drag an album in the sidebar anywhere you want in the list. To sort the photos in an album, Control-click on the album, then choose a sorting option, like Keep Sorted By Oldest First or Keep Sorted By Newest First."


These steps may help. Let us know if you have further questions.


Take care.
