Trying to figure out how to get photo albums to link with page

I am very new to all this wordpress stuff, so forgive me if I appear stupid. I have all of the photos in the photo albums, and they had shown on the page which I wanted (Photos) and now when I click on the photos page it just gives the edit option. If I am forgetting something very simple please let me know, I have published the page, but the photos do not show up. I don’t know much about any of the plugins I may need so as much help as I can get is greatly appreciated.
