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.

If you meant signing up for iCloud+, then yes, you can share the storage between the two of you with Family Sharing. Note: This is sharing storage space...not photos. You each would have your own private photo library.

With Family Sharing, you can share an iCloud+ subscription with up to five other family members. This includes up to 12 TB of iCloud storage, as well as features like iCloud Private Relay, Hide My Email, and HomeKit Secure Video support.
