Biography[edit]

Tustin was born on 25 March 1884, the daughter of Harriet Elizabeth Tustin (née Pilcher) and William George Tustin.[4] She grew up in Wellington and attended The Terrace School and Wellington Technical School.[5] She ran her portrait photography business from premises in central Wellington—initially on Lambton Quay and later on Courtney Place—from 1921 to the mid-1940s.[6][7] She also exhibited her photographs at the annual Wellington Winter Show.[8]

Tustin died in Wellington in 1967,[3] and her ashes were buried at Karori Cemetery.[9][10]
