Geographic Information Systems Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for cartographers, geographers and GIS professionals. It's 100% free, no registration required.

The closest thing I have is using a line call out in the text background, then placing the picture in the line call out border. But the picture tiles throughout. Is what I am trying to do even possible without adding graphics or annotation?

Basically I want to do what Google earth does automatically with the placement of their labels?

Any extensions besides Maplex? Any tools or solutions?

Thanks

I found what looks like a possible solution for leadered symbols described here.

And another article I saw today may be useful for making your picture markers look great.

If this works for you let me know and we can write it up as a more detailed Answer.
