How can I switch families?
You first need to leave the family group you are in - which you can do for yourself if you are over 13 - then to join your mother's group you will have to be invited.
On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
- Go to Settings.
- Tap your name, then tap Family Sharing.
- Tap your name.
- Tap Stop Using Family Sharing.
and also Invite people to join your family in Set up Family Sharing
Be aware of the note at the foot of that page: Remember, you can only join one family at a time, and you can only switch to a different family group once per year.
Regarding shared photos, it is also possible to share an iCloud photo album with anyone, regardless of family groups. See How to share albums in Photos on your iPhone, iPad and Mac
