She became the favourite model of her aunt, the celebrated photographer Julia Margaret Cameron, who made more than 50 portraits of her.

Married to Herbert Duckworth, a barrister, in 1867 she was soon widowed with three infant children.

After Leslie Stephen's wife died in 1875 he became close friends with Julia and they married in 1878. In addition to her family duties and modelling, she wrote a book based on her nursing experiences, Notes from Sick Rooms, in 1883.
