About Me
Hey everyone!
For those who don’t know me, my name is Chase Mazur. I’m an 18-year-old photographer based in South Louisiana. This is home for me, where most of my work is centered, but I also spend time in The Woodlands, Texas, where my dad and stepmother live.
I’m the founder and creative director of Chase Mazur Photography LLC, a Louisiana-based creative business I’ve built from the ground up. What started as photography has grown into something much bigger. Along the way, I’ve developed a strong interest in content creation, brand strategy, marketing, and digital storytelling, and how all of those pieces come together to create work that genuinely connects with people.
I picked up a camera about seven years ago without any real plan. I was just the younger sibling on the sidelines documenting whatever was happening around me. There was no grand vision at the time—I simply enjoyed capturing moments. Over time, that passion evolved into something I cared deeply about and eventually into a business I’m incredibly grateful for and committed to growing.
Through building this business, I’ve learned far more than how to take photos. Creative direction, client experience, communication, marketing, and understanding how to make people feel comfortable in front of the camera have all become just as important as the images themselves. I’ve also become fascinated by how media and marketing influence the way people connect with brands, especially when it comes to engaging a Gen Z audience in a way that feels authentic rather than forced.
I graduated from high school in May 2026 and am attending Louisiana State University, pursuing a Bachelor of Science in General Business with a concentration in Digital Marketing. While earning my degree, I will continue to grow my business and pursue opportunities that challenge me creatively, professionally, and personally!
A huge part of who I am comes from living with Type 1 diabetes. Diagnosed in 2019, it has shaped the way I view time, opportunity, and relationships. That journey has also led me to become deeply involved with Breakthrough T1D. Today, I proudly serve on the Louisiana Board of Directors for Breakthrough T1D, where I help support advocacy, fundraising, awareness, and community engagement efforts aimed at accelerating progress toward better treatments and ultimately a cure for Type 1 diabetes.
At the core of everything I do, I’m a visual storyteller. I care about the real moments, the small details, and the in-between interactions that might not seem significant in the moment but become the memories people cherish most years later. Whether I’m photographing a senior, a family, a couple, or a wedding day, my goal is always the same: to create something honest, timeless, and uniquely reflective of who you are.
I never take it lightly when someone trusts me to document an important season of their life. That trust is what drives everything I do!
I’m incredibly grateful for the people who have supported and trusted me along the way, and I’m excited for what’s ahead.
Let’s create something great together!

—A PART OF MY STORY—
A big part of who I am, both in life and in my work, comes from living with Type 1 Diabetes.
Before photography, I was all in on sports. That was my world. But after being diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in 2019, navigating the demands of athletics, especially soccer, began to change my perspective. In the middle of all of that, I picked up a camera. At first, it was simply a way to stay involved, document what was happening around me, and create something meaningful.
I didn't realize it at the time, but that moment would completely change the course of my life.
Photography quickly became more than a hobby. It became an outlet, a passion, and eventually a business that has given me opportunities I never could have imagined.
That same journey also led me to become deeply involved with Breakthrough T1D, an organization dedicated to advancing research, advocacy, and support for those living with Type 1 Diabetes. Since then, I've had the privilege of serving in several volunteer leadership roles, including as a Fund A Cure Chair for the 2026 Louisiana Imagine Gala. Today, I proudly serve on the Louisiana Board of Directors for Breakthrough T1D, helping support fundraising, advocacy, community engagement, and efforts to accelerate progress toward better treatments and ultimately a cure.
Being part of this community, sharing my story, and working alongside families who understand this journey firsthand is something I never take for granted.
Type 1 Diabetes has shaped how I view time, opportunity, and relationships. It's taught me resilience, perspective, and the importance of showing up for others. It's also one of the reasons I care so deeply about preserving moments that matter.
Because at the end of the day, the photographs we cherish most aren't always the perfectly posed ones. They're the moments that remind us where we've been, who we've loved, and the stories that have shaped us along the way.
