Move Windows folders to Mac Photos albums

I'm moving from a Windows 7 box to a MacBook Pro. On the Windows box, I have my photos organized into dozens of folders (by year, event, etc.). I would like to move these to Photos, with a Photos album for each of the Windows folders. Other than laboriously doing this folder-by-folder, is there a way to accomplish this?

If you drag and drop the folders from your Windows machine onto the Photos icon in the Dock and select "Keep folder organization" in the Import section you'll get a folder containing an album of those image files both with the same name as the Windows folder:
