The girl in the photo is my cousin. I think you have met her before. vs The girl in the photo is my cousin; I think you have met her before.

Both phrases are correct, but they serve different purposes. The first phrase uses a period to separate the two sentences, while the second phrase uses a semicolon to connect them more closely. The choice between a period and a semicolon depends on how closely related the two sentences are intended to be.
