Blogspot is what I use, too. I have never been charged for it.
After you get enough into the blog on Blogspot.com you can pay a small sum to have it as a PDF to save into your computer or even a hard copy book or both like I did. Mine ran about $40 but I've had my blog going since 2005. I post about once a month. Maybe one photo with each entry.

I'm telling you this so you get an idea of what else you can do with it.
Consider downloading picasa to your computer (It's free). Makes it easier to upload photo's directly to a blogspot post.
If you are going to upload a LOT of photo's to your blog, may I suggest you upload them to an online picasa album (also free) just keep your photo's to 1200 x 900 or smaller and you won't be worrying about running out of free space. Then once you have an album created on the web... you can simply insert the link to the picasa album (or the individual photo) into your blog.
I would suggest that you create an email address JUST for the blog... to sign into and to receive email alerts. Use gmail. It's free.
Don't complicate your life by using your normal email address that you use for communicating with family and frieds as your blog email address.
so... 1. create an email address you'll use for your blog sign in ... gmail.com clicky
2. Download Picasa into your computer Download Picasa
3. Create some Picasa albums online .. it's a part of Google Plus but you can just go to the original Picasa online albums. SETUP online Picasa album
4. Create your blog on Blogspot.com How to do that
