Hey Allison excellent tip! Just to add what is also possible to do... to use this method to cut-out an actual section of the photo. This is what you do:
1. Follow all your above steps up until the selecting the colour for the shape fill.
2. Right-click on the original photo and select copy.
3. Select your shape and right-click, select format picture (options will open on right hand side)
4. From the Fill icon, select Picture or texture fill.
5. Click the 'Clipboard' button, this will paste the original photo into your shape!
6. Lastly use the Offset adjustments to align the original photo to match your selection. (you can also make the shape outline = none.
Hope this is useful :)

Also... you can use an other freehand shape to select an area within the picture( i.e. the space between the thumb and cellphone and remove the background. Once you have drawn around the small background area, select both freehand shapes, select Drawing Tools Format >> Merge Shapes>> Combine.
The cut-out is applied and the new freehand shape changes to a solid fill, just select picture or texture fill option again and magic!! :)
