Born in Frankfurt, Davidson began her career working for the Metropolitan Opera Guild's education department in the 1950s. She began contributing photos to Opera News magazine in 1965, becoming one of the magazine's most frequently published photographers for more than the next 25 years.

She died in New York City at the age of 80.[1]
