Can you provide a link to the store so I can take a peek please?
Also, are you sure the white space is not a part of the image itself? I have made that mistake before.
Yes, I am sure this is not a part of the image. I have tried with several different images and white space is always there.
Thanks! Hey so good news, this should be an easy quick fix. Your theme has a input setting for this in the customizer. Hit the green customizer button to edit your theme. Click on the header so that it takes you to edit the header. If you scroll down a little bit on the left sidebar, you will see a “bottom-margin” setting. This looks to be 24px by default which is that exact height of the space you have on your live store.
Just change that to 0 and hit save.
No code needed!
Omg 
such an easy solution it was!
Thank you so much for the assistance.
You’re welcome! They have gotten alot better with adding settings for simple changes like this but the more settings they add its easy to overlook haha.
