For private and public photo sharing with a 5000 character description limit and commenting there is Pixelfed. I use it as a private and public Instagram. There is also Misskey which has internal non-federated groups on it's own instance, files and picture sharing. You could try-out if Misskey is something and self-host. It has mobile apps well.
You say you want something more private for friends and family, but fediverse is about connecting with the fediverse.. as I interpret your question you could use any social platform or forum software you want, it doesn't seem need to be fediverse enabled, is that right?
