From 1859 she received private lessons in Düsseldorf from her compatriot Ferdinand Fagerlin , who had previously worked in Couture's Paris studio. In Düsseldorf she also took lessons from the respected portrait painter Karl Ferdinand Sohn . From 1862 to 1871 she worked as a photographer in her parents' house in Örebro.
