No, your family does not necessarily see all your pics when you do Family Sharing. Family Sharing allows you to share purchases, subscriptions, and more with your family group. However, for photos, you have the choice to share what you want through the Family Album in iCloud Photo Sharing or by creating a shared album. Only the photos you add to these shared albums will be visible to your family members. Privacy settings allow you to manage who sees what.
