You turn on/off iCloud Photos...you don't sign up for it. (You sign up for iCloud+ if you're needing more than the standard 5GB storage space.)

If you're wanting to share the same photos, you can set up a Shared Album. It does not use your iCloud storage space, but you'll be limited to 5,000 photos/videos though. This does not require signing up for an iCloud+ subscription.
