iCloud
if I copy to an external drive, can I use that drive to store future photos or will they always be stored on my iMac? I want to avoid having 2 libraries
You could move the library there, not just copy, and use it only on the external drive from both macs. If the drive is connected to a fast port, you will not notice much difference in speed, and you will have plenty of free storage for future photos. A small, portable drive be no problem to carry around along with your MacBook. Even a 1TB drive is tiny.
