I regularly export photos from Apple Photos on my Macbook. You just cmd-a cmd-c cmd-v. Sure its clunky but it works.

There's also "Image Capture" (software included with your Mac) that will just pull the raw images directly off your phone.

File -> Export also works, but, like that, only partially. Exporting tagged faces isn’t possible, AFAIK.
