Any reason why you can't use the Apple "Photos" app which should be on your High Sierra MacBook Pro.

Launch Photos on your MBP, you may need to let it create a library if there is none already

In Photos>Preferences>General make it your System Library
In Photos>Preferences>iCloud turn on either iCloud Photo Library or Photostream (I don't recommend to do both)

Do the same on your iPhone.

Both options will cause your iPhone photos to be sync'd to the Photos app on your computer.

If you turn on iCloud Photo Library, your iPhone photos will also be uploaded to iCloud but count against your free 5Gb iCloud capacity, so you will probably need to pay for a larger capacity soon.

If you turn on Photostream (but not iCloud Photo Library) you will not need buy more capacity but your photos are not stored in iCloud.
