I would like to share my family historian project with my cousin who is now a family historian user.
My cousin has recently started using Family Historian. I recommended it because of its simplicity and its ability to crop older pictures to produce 'thumbnails'. I would like to share my project with her to keep her from having to key in all the data. I know that I can send her a Gedcom file, but I would like to send her the pictures that I have as well. Is there any way that I can do this?

One way is to do a medium backup. Email her the resulting zip file. All she then needs to do is restore from backup in FH and she will have all your information including images.
One thing to be aware of is that you may be in breach of copyright/website T's & C's if you share images of records that you have downloaded.

FYI: The commands are:
File > Backup/Restore > Medium Backup for you to create the ZIP file.
File > Backup/Restore > Restore Backup for her to import the ZIP file.
See glossary:backup_and_recovery|> Backup and Recovery.
Have you customised anything that she might need? Diagrams, Reports, Queries, Custom Facts, Property Box tabs, etc...
If so, you must use File > Import/Export > Export > ... to save the necessary customisations.
Then she can use File > Import/Export > Import > ... to install them.
See how_to:move_settings|> Move Family Historian Settings and Projects but do NOT follow the Family Historian V5 & V6 Migration Guide nor use the Backup and Restore Family Historian Settings Plugin, which are only intended for use with your own copy of FH. Alternatively, you may have to just Email specific customisation settings and expressions.
