my daughter and I share the same apple id but can we have separate photo stream

My daughter and I share the same apple ID for music and apps. Is there any way for us to have separate photo streams. We do not want to share photos.

iPhone 4S, Windows 7

Yes of course, just set up two different iCloud accounts in "Settings > iCloud". One for your daughter one her device and one for you on your device. iCloud includes Mail, Calendar, Reminders, Contacts, Notes, Photo Stream etc.


(For your iTunes & App Store purchases you could still share the same Apple ID, which would be set up in "Settings > iTunes & App Stores")

Hi


I also have 2 iphones (mine and my wifes), all on ONE iTunes ID and ONE iCloud ID.


I want to backup our photos only automatically to my Windowns 7 PC using Photostream & iCloud from both devices BUT I dont want her photos on my phone and vice versa.


I too would like to keep 1 iTunes account and because I dont want her photos streamed to my phone I will create separate iCloud IDs.


My question is.....

Can I set up my iClound control panel in Windows to backup photos from BOTH the iCloud IDs on the 2 phones?

I dont mind the backups going to the same folder on my PC, but I do want to keep the pics on the phones separate.

(also I am happy to use 3rd party software or manual options if not possibe with Apple products)
