How to send photos as a link?

I have been trying to send over 300 photos to my mother on iMessage but cant seem to get it the way i'd like it. I know that you can send them all very easily but I would like to send them as a link? So that my mother can easily click the link and there would be her photos instead of them sending on top of one another so that she doesnt have to scroll all the way to the top and go through them all to save them which is just very frustrating. Even if there is no way to get it to a link I would like to know any other way to do this? I've also tried putting them into a folder and send to her but it just isnt working out...

I would add them to a photo stream then make the photo stream public which will give you a custom link which you can share with her or anyone else for that matter. Select the photos you want to share in Photos, click the share button on the far right (box with an arrow coming out) then click iCloud Photo Sharing. Click New Shared Album and Name it something Nifty. Add your mom's email address she uses for Apple (if she has an Apple device) or her associated number. If not you can just add yourself to get it set up. Click Create. Go to the Shared tab at the top of photos, click it to see your shared albums... if you see the activity feed click Shared again. Select the Shared Album you created and open it. In the right you will have an icon that is a silhouette in a circle. Click it, then enable the public website. Copy and paste the link to your mom. If she has an iPhone or other Apple device with Photos, she can access the Photo Stream directly from the photos app on that device instead of needing a link. Hope this helps.
