    Hello ssgoeken,

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

     

    If I understand your post correctly you have multiple iPhoto libraries and you are now wanting to import them into the Photos app.  For working with multiple iPhoto libraries please take a look at the link below.

     

    Migrating more than one photo library

    If you have more than one photo library on your Mac, then Photos will ask which one you want to upgrade the first time you open it. Photos allows you to open and work with libraries created in iPhoto or Aperture. 

    To migrate another photo library manually: 

    1. Quit Photos. 
    2. Hold down the Option key and open Photos.
    3. Select the library you want to open. If the library you want isn’t listed, click Other Library. Navigate to the library you want, and click Open.
    4. If the library you want isn’t listed, click Other Library. Navigate to the library you want and click Open.

    You can also drag the library you’d like to open to the Photos icon in the Dock. Or you can click Create New to create an all-new, empty library. 

    Get started with Photos for OS X - Apple Support

     

    If you've already imported your iPhoto Library, and you are only seeing placeholders for your photos, then I recommend repairing your Photos library.

     

    Use the Photos library repair tool - Apple Support

     

    Take care.
