How do I add a picture to a home screen shortcut, Galaxy S3

[AC Question]

I have several home screen shortcuts to contacts, and I would like to replace the stock icon with the contact's picture.

The above suggestion will work. However, if you add a photo to the contact (contacts > select contact > edit > photo) then add a contact widget for that person the photo should be displayed.
