First of all, the proper term is Copyright, not Copy Write. In order to
copyright a collection or a collected work of photos, you must submit a
copyright application and a registration fee to the U.S. Copyright office.
You only need do this once for the body of work that you create. A
copyright allows you to control that photograph for a predetermined period
of time, which I believe is 70 years but I may be wrong on the actual
timeframe.
Visit the homepage of the U.S. Copyright Office for information.

According to ASMP (American Society of Media Photographers, Inc)

"Copyrights can be registered with the Copyright Office in Washington, D.C.
Although registration is not required to own the copyright, there is one
instance in which you must have a registration and another when there is a
definite advantage to registration.
When legal action is necessary to remedy a copyright infringement, the image
must be registered before the legal action can be started. This registration
can be made after the infringement occurs. However, unless you register
before the infringement (or within three months after the first publication
even if after infringement, you will not be able to sue for statutory
damages, which are up to $100,000 per infringement plus your legal fees.
When statutory damages are unavailable to the copyright owner a claim can
still be made for actual damages, that is, the amount of money lost as a
result of the infringement plus the amount of profits realized by the
infringer. But actual damages can be difficult and expensive to prove, and
legal fees can be an additional burden.
A photographer should always seek legal advice from a qualified attorney
before threatening a copyright infringement action. "
