Simply select the photograph then go to your menu and select stroke. You can change the color to white or black or any color you want using the color picker to match your photo. You can adjust the size of the stroke and also decide if you want it on the outside of the photo, which give a rounded corner effect, or on the inside, which keeps it straight.
