You can send as many attachments as you like with a single email.

These instructions are for Outlook Express but they should be fairly similar with any method of sending mail:
Click 'Insert > File Attachment'.
Navigate to the folder (e.g. 'My Pictures'), where your pictures are located.
Click on the first one you want to select. Then, while holding the Ctrl key down, click on each of the others in turn.
Click 'Attach'

That's it. The only problem might be that the resulting file size of your email is too large to be accepted by your ISP (or alternative email service). Some email providers place a limit on the size of emails. The best way to find out if this applies to you is simply to try it.

If you really want to send all of your pictures as a single file, it's possible to compress them into just one 'zip' file. (There are also alternative compressed formats, such as 'rar'). To do so, you can either use the facility which is built into Windows XP and Vista (but not into earlier versions of Windows) or you can use an independent program, such as WinZip or PKZip. However, most picture files are in 'jpeg' format, which is already compressed. Putting your 9 pictures into a single zip file wouldn't make the resultant file much smaller, so it's hardly worth bothering. (Also, sending a zip file is pointless unless the recipient knows what to do with it. The recipient would have to 'unzip' it to view the pictures).

open up my pictures> click on each photo (holding down Ctrl) you want to email .Each photo will then be highlighted > down the left hand side you will see email selected files / pictures click on this and your email will open this also reduces size of photos for emailing. All photos will be attached when your email opens this is a great way to email photos.

Note that pictures are rather large and sending them all in one go could cause problems.

First, if your broadband is slow, or the person who gets them has a slow broadband it could take ages to upload or download them.

Secondly, many people have a limit on the size of their email inbox and if you send a lot of pictures in one go it may be too large for their in box and may not be able to deliever them at all.

If you send them one or two pictures per email they will upload and download much quicker, plus the person who gets them will find that if their inbox is nearly full at least some of the email will download, then they can save the attachements to their hard disk and then delete the emails first emails , to make room for the next set of emails you sent.
