Greetings mlskooch,
Thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities! I understand you're curious how to prevent photos from uploading to iCloud automatically with your iOS device.
Having iCloud Photos enabled on your iOS device would have the photos automatically upload to iCloud, so you can disable iCloud Photos to prevent that behavior from continuing. The following guide provides information on how to disable iCloud Photos: Get help with iCloud Photos
Cheers!

How do I turn off iCloud Photos on only one device?
You can turn off iCloud Photos on a single device when you follow these steps:
On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Photos, then turn off iCloud Photos.
If you have Optimize Storage turned on, you might not have all of your original photos and videos on your device. To download the original photos and videos on your iOS device, go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Photos and select Download and Keep Originals. On your Mac, open Photos, choose Photos > Preferences, then select Download Originals to this Mac. Then you can turn off iCloud Photos. You can also select the photos and videos that you want to download from iCloud.com.
Before you turn off iCloud Photos, you might want to make a copy of your photos and videos.
Cheers!
