Born on 18 December 1858 in Bergen, Bentzen was the daughter of the sea captain Einar Bentzen (1824–1876) and Karen Bertine Gullaksen. After learning photography under Max Behrends (1839–1903), she opened a business in Bergen in 1886. The firm appears to have been taken over by Justus Lockwood in the early 1900s when she opened a business in Voss. In 1918, she put the business up for sale but continued to reproduce old works until much later. She also created postcards. Bentzen received a medal at the Bergen Exhibition in 1898.
