She moved to Wellington in the early 1870s, establishing a professional photographic studio with her husband. Cazneau took photographs of the Mount Tarawera eruption. She also lectured at the Exhibition Building in Wellington using lantern slides made from her negatives. She continued to operate the studio until 1890 when she moved to Adelaide. She died on 24 March 1892. Examples of her work are held in the collection of the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa. The National Library of New Zealand also holds examples of her work.
