    Do you mean your photos in the Photo Stream? 

     

    First her system and iPhoto version should support iCloud and Photo Stream:  OS X 10.7. 5 and iPhoto 9.4 or later.

     

    Next, she would have to log into the your iCloud account in her System/iCloud preference pane and enable Photo Stream:

    She would also have to enable Photo Stream in here iPhoto Photo Stream preferences:

    If she enables all of the iCloud features in the System/iCloud preference pane she'll be syncing your Contact list with hers, bookmards, etc.  If you want to have her only get the photos do not enable any of the other items.  If she has her own iCloud account she'll won't be able to use it.

     

    If you want to create a Shared Photo Stream

    so she could view the phtotos you put in it without using your iCloud account the system requiremets are:  OS X 10. 8.2 or later.  This Apple document describes what is needed: iCloud: System requirements
