Career
On 16 September 1852, Bieber opened a daguerrotype studio at 26, Großen Bäckerstraße in Hamburg at a time when photography was practiced almost exclusively by mentor As a result, she was one of the very first women to become a professional photographer in Germany. Initially her business did not do well.
Just as she was on the point of selling it, she received encouragement from a soothsayer who saw "many carriages waiting outside her studio." Thanks to such encouragement, she went on to become a successful portrait photographer, specializing in hand-tinted portraits.
In 1872, Prince Friedrich Karl of Prussia appointed her court photographer.
