Easily Access Photos to Create Photo Album in InDesign

I'm putting together a photo album in InDesign.  What is the easiest way to insert photos besides going to "File > Place" for every photo?

Is there a way I can have my photos show up in a panel and can drag and drop them into a frame instead?

I added the photos into my Adobe Creative Cloud Assets.

Hi Lindsey:

I added the photos into my Adobe Creative Cloud Assets.

Does this mean they are your InDesign CC Library panel? In that case, yes, you can drag and drop.

Other alternatives are to drag images to the InDesign layout from Bridge (part of your CC subscription) or use multiple place: after choosing File > Place use Shift or Ctrl (Cmd on a Mac) to select multiple photos at one time, then quickly drop them on your layout.
