if matt were a superhero he would be the one with the heightened olfactory- and since i googled that and didn’t find a name i’ll just say matt IS that superhero. talent? smelling. it is quite otherworldly how he smells- like a pregnant woman mixed with a drug dog and quite as unstoppable. surely we can figure out a way for this talent to save lives, right?
for now i just appreciate him suggesting i add more nutmeg to my alfredo FROM THE COUCH. it really is a gift and he’s never been wrong but it can be really incriminating. for example, if i slightly sear anything even the teeniest bit he’s on to me and running to cover the smoke alarm- yea we do that, don’t tell our landlord please. but i wouldn’t trade his abilities for the world as it comes in so handy when i’m unsure about the lunch meat or the milk from last week. in these cases, he’s clutch.
it does, however, ruin surprises. breakfast in bed? nope! the smell of coffee or apple turnovers will literally JOLT matt from his rem cycle. mind-blowing. for the most part i appreciate it but i didn’t write this post to blabber…
really, i just wanted everyone to know i am married to a superhero, that’s all!
* over christmas my aunts wanted to take an extended family shot and matt took it upon himself to set up the camera- the resulting test images totally cracked me up!

You guys are too cute :D
i’m glad this is finally being announced to the online world. matt – your ability to smell blows my mind. and what an excellent documentation of yourself. love you both.
If I didn’t know Matt, this picture would totally creep me out. ;)
I DO know you Matt and this picture still creeps me out. :) And speaking as a pregnant woman who can smell a copper sink thru hotel walls…Im very impressed with your hypersensitive talent and cant wait to see how you use this special sense to take over the world… :)
Matt–I completely understand. I have the same ability, although probably less magnified than yours b/c I’m not even remotely close to superhero status. However, I am great for the testing questionable food!
Just wanted to let you know that i think your work is great. Every picture that i have seen is so good and unique. I was at mallory and marlon’s wedding in savannah and you guys did a wonderful job. You took a picture of my daughter and all you can see is her back, neck and the pearls hanging around her. I would love to order that photo. Matter of fact it was the one on the web site. I have 3 girls and I would love to use yall for all of their weddings and also just some family photos. I know your business is doing great now and Im so happy for yall. Take care!
i hereby denounce my superhero status- too much pressure. but i’ll claim a creepy portrait of myself, ANYTIME!
i LOVE the picture. and uncle matt, you’ll always be a superhero to us
mattaltmix* you are a superhero. claim it.

oh my gosh! my friends and family call me “super nose”—i’m not kidding! matt, for real, google HSP (highly sensitive people) very helpful and humorous research. actually, i just stopped by to check in with you two and see how things are going. looks like all is well in the altmix world. and it looks like we’ll get to work together some in the future…i’m so excited! –joy
I really love this shot, nice!
