She married Christophe Annedouche in 1832, who was also a French engraver from Paris. They both became famous for their natural history illustrations. They had three children, Emile Alexandre, Joseph Alfred, and Jules André, and lived in Paris. Her son Joseph Alfred, like his parents, became a well-known engraver and artist, exhibiting at the Royal Museum in 1845.

Marie Louise Sébin engraved the Lepidoptera plates for Boisduval and Feisthamel in the report on the epic

Voyage autour du monde par les mers de l'Inde et de Chine.
