Shared apple id between me and my mom

My mom and I share the same Apple ID, and now I want my own. Only problem is that our photos have been combined, so therefore I have her photos mixed with my own and she has the same. I could log out of our shared Apple ID and create my own, but our photos would still be together. Is there a way to separate them without accidentally deleting them or the iCloud safety copy?

iPhone X, iOS 13

You can turn Photos syncing off and delete the photos your don't want. That is a manual process. There is no way to separate them automatically.
