Stockbridge moved from Chicago, Illinois to Wallace, Idaho. She arrived in 1899 to provide photo touch-up work at T.N. Barnard's studio, eventually running the studio.[1][2]
Stockbridge's subject included everyday subjects in Wallace such as townscapes and events, but she also photographed the local mines including portraits of miners and capturing mining disasters.[1]
Her career spanned over 60 years. She was the oldest living member of the Zonta International club for advancement of women when she died in 1965.
