Photo Album Software (request) (lemm.ee)

I have a large number of photos edited and ready to go and want to then them into an album. Does anyone have any recommendations for any FOSS software that I can use to arrange the images to pages, and add text?

I intend to send the data to a professional printer for printing and binding.

My first thought was Libre Office's Draw, but maybe this community has something more appropriate.

I haven’t worked with Scribus but I’ve heard good things about it, so I don’t think you’d be making a wrong choice by going with it. For this use case, the main reasons I can think of for why LaTeX would be preferable would be:

if you preferred working with it, or with a particular LaTeX tool
if you want to learn one tool or the other
if being able to write a script to create the output is something you want to do and the equivalent is not possible in Scribus
