About Chase mazur photography

Built from a passion of PEOPLE, shaped by purpose, and grown into something far beyond photography.

the story behind cmp

What began as a kid with a camera and a love for capturing the people around him slowly became something I never expected — a business, a purpose, and a way of connecting with people through the moments that matter most.

I’m Chase, the photographer and person behind Chase Mazur Photography. CMP started long before I ever imagined calling myself a professional photographer. What began with a kid picking up a camera, filming alongside my dad, and photographing my sister’s sports grew through years of learning, creating, and figuring things out as I went. Somewhere along the way, what felt like a hobby became a business I was building while I was still in high school — and eventually, something much bigger than I ever pictured when I first picked up a camera.

Somewhere along the way, a HOBBY became a business, and a camera became the way I started building a life I never expected.

CMP really began during my freshman year of high school. I was learning as I went, taking every opportunity I could, and slowly realizing that people were trusting me to document some of the most important seasons of their lives. What started small began growing through word of mouth, social media, and the people who believed in my work before I fully understood where it could take me.

Building a business while growing up alongside it has shaped much of who I am. There have been long nights, missed plans, plenty of figuring things out as I went, and more growth than I could have imagined. But through every season, the heart behind CMP has stayed the same: creating meaningful work, building genuine relationships, and giving people photographs that will matter long after the moment itself has passed.

Beyond the camera

Photography is what I do. PURPOSE is a much bigger part of who I am.

I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in 2019, and it became a part of my life long before CMP became what it is today. Living with T1D has shaped the way I approach challenges, opportunities, and the people around me — but over time, it has also given me a purpose far beyond myself.

Today, that purpose has led me to become involved with Breakthrough T1D, where I serve on the Louisiana Chapter Board of Directors and advocate for the T1D community. From fundraising and events to meeting families whose lives have been changed by the same diagnosis, it has become one of the most meaningful parts of my life.

founder + lead photographer

I’m Chase Mazur.

I’m the photographer, business owner, and person behind Chase Mazur Photography, but there’s a lot more to me than what you see through the camera.

I’m a Louisiana native, LSU student (GEAUX TIGERS), and someone who somehow feels most at home when my calendar is probably a little fuller than it should be. I love the relationships that come with what I do just as much as I love creating the photographs themselves. Getting to know people, hearing their stories, and becoming a small part of some of the biggest seasons of their lives is something I’ll never take for granted.

Outside of CMP, a huge part of my life is my involvement with Breakthrough T1D and advocating for the Type 1 Diabetes community. Living with T1D has shaped my perspective in more ways than I could ever fit onto an About Page, and getting to turn that experience into something that can impact other people has become incredibly important to me.

At the end of the day, I’m ambitious, probably always working on something, and incredibly grateful that a camera I picked up years ago has introduced me to so many people and given me the opportunity to build a life around something I genuinely love.

when i'm not behind the camera, you can probably find me...
