Pictures only show on iphone

Happy Xmas. Likely I am being stupid but can’t figure the problem out. My mum has an iPhone and has just bought a new iPad. I send her pictures via messaging with photos attached. The photo and message turns up on the iPhone but not the iPad. She can however send me a message via her iPad. I have, I believe tried everything, evidently not as it still is not working. She’s signed in to her Apple on both devices. I’m stuck. 😧

iPhone 6, iOS 12

Hi and thanks for taking the time. I will ask her to do that. It is a problem with messages rather than text. When I type her name her name comes up in blue, I send the message and it only goes to her phone but I will try this solution. Thanks anyway and merry Xmas from a wet England ... 😂

On her iPhone ask her to do the following

Settings > Message > Text Message Forwarding > [Select the iPad and enable]
