Hi jeanfromsanta cruz,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you want to turn off iCloud storage including iCloud Photo Library, and keep your pictures on your iOS device.
On your iOS device, go to Settings > iCloud > Photos and make sure "Download and Keep Originals" is checked. This will download the full size photos from your iCloud Photo Library to your iOS device.
On Mac OS X, this can be done by selecting "Download Originals to this Mac" from Photos > Preferences > iCloud.
You can also visit www.icloud.com/photos to download individual photos to a computer.
You can find this information and more help with iCloud Photo Library on this page:
iCloud Photo Library FAQ - Apple Support
All the best,
Jeremy
