The Business and The Founders
The Business
Open Shutter Studio isn't just a photography service, we're your local visual marketing partner.
We help real estate agents, STR hosts, and small businesses attract buyers, boost bookings, and build unforgettable brands through strategic imagery and storytelling.
Based in North Central Arkansas, we offer premium photography, copywriting, and branded media, without travel fees or cookie-cutter results.
Whether you're launching a listing, refreshing your rental, or elevating your personal brand, we deliver visuals that works as hard as you do.
The Founders
With a combined 40 years of experience behind the lens, we bring a strategic, artistic approach to every shoot, capturing spaces with clarity, intention, and visual impact.
Founded by Brandon and Darcy Meredith, Open Shutter Studio is built on a shared passion for storytelling and a deep respect for the real estate industry. We understand what agents, brokers, and property managers need because we’ve lived it. Darcy’s insider knowledge comes from growing up in a family of real estate professionals, with her parents working as agents for nearly 40 years. That legacy informs our work and helps us deliver images that resonate with buyers and build trust with sellers.

Brandon is our Primary Photographer and Digital Media Specialist, known for his grounded style, sharp eye, and collaborative energy. His background includes creative lifestyle and toy photography, which taught him to see the beauty in overlooked details, an approach that now brings depth and character to every property he shoots.
Darcy is our Business Strategist and Secondary Photographer, whose intuitive presence and strategic insight shape the studio’s client experience. Her journey began with fine art and macro photography, and she continues to bring emotional resonance and thoughtful composition to every project.
While our creative roots began in fine art, macro, toy, and lifestyle photography, our focus today is helping real estate professionals showcase their properties with confidence and style. From cozy bungalows to luxury estates, we know how to highlight a space’s best features and tell its story through compelling visuals.
