I have some photos taken from vegetation monitoring work post wildfire. I want to present these to clients integrating them into a map for that area and bring them up as pop-up for a location as we discuss the impact of wildfire in a selected polygon. How could I import these and be able to click on a point and bring up a geotagged photo?

Not sure which software package you are using, but if you have ArcGIS Desktop one possibility is to use the Hyperlink Tool after first setting up the pictures.  It may also be possible to do pictures via HTML pop-up windows.

If you are using ArcGIS Pro, there appears to be a "Configure Popups" function which is similar to the Hyperlink tool.  See this thread for ideas:
