Cannot transfer Live Photos from my iPhone to my iMac

[tjrngold]

A large number of photos that I get on my iPhone of my grandchildren are Live Photos. I want to transfer them to my iMac as such, so that I can place them in their proper albums. Unfortunately they transfer only a a still photo. Is there any way to transfer as a Live Photo?
Thanks

Hello and welcome.

I would guess the issue is due to the iMac model and/or version of OS X/macOS that it is running.

-Which model iPhone?
-Which version of iOS?
-Which model iMac?
-Which version of OS X/macOS?
-Which version of Photos on the Mac?
