Normally DHCP does not lock a given IP address to a given MAC address.
However, you can do so on a per machine basis with the fixed-address
option. E.g:

host hawk                       # new (2016) desktop
{
   option host-name "hawk";
   hardware ethernet 30:5a:3a:81:83:79;
   fixed-address 192.168.100.6;
   option domain-name-servers 192.168.100.30, 127.0.0.1; # chaffee, localhost
   ddns-hostname hawk;
}
