Tennant was the third daughter of Charles Tennant (1796–1873) and Gertrude Barbara Rich Collier (1819–1918). Her sister was the artist, Dorothy Tennant.[2] She married the classicist, poet, and psychical researcher Frederic William Henry Myers (1843–1901) in 1880. They had two sons, the elder the novelist Leopold Hamilton Myers (1881–1944), and a daughter, the author Silvia Myers Blennerhassett.

Tennant posed for the Pre-Raphaelite painters George Frederic Watts and John Everett Millais.[3]

Myers took up photography in 1888, taking pictures of her family and visitors. She was self-taught.[2] She later gave up her practice after the death of her husband in 1901, dedicating her time to publishing Frederic W.H. Myers' writing.[4]
