I happened upon another method that I have been using. I installed Google Drive to my Mac, meaning I can export directly to it, just like any other folder on my harddrive. Any folder of photos on you Google Drive will show up as an album on your Google+, you just have to change the share options as it will default to private.
As a bonus, because I frequently deliever photos to clients digitally through Google Drive, I can now create a nice looking web album and upload photos for delievery in one step.
