  You're going to be better off looking at a local board for something like this.
  
  That said, this is peak season so on short notice she's probably better off working with her resort photographer OR seeing if there's a possibility that her photographer can expedite her passport.

  There's also about 16 cities throughout the US that have government offices for expediting passports.  I think the parameters are the person needs to have travel that is already booked within two weeks.  Those offices can turn around a passport in 2-3 business days.  For an extra fee, of course.  One of my coworkers used one after she booked a trip to Punta Cana.  She thought she didn't need a passport.  Found out she did something like the week before.  And was able to get one in time.
  
  Off the top of my head, those special offices are in Miami, D.C., NYC, New Orleans, Atlanta, Chicago, and Los Angeles.  I'm sure you can find the full list with a Google search.

  Thanks!  I refreshed my memory.  More offices than I had thought.
  
  I remember it making me laugh last time also.  It's all the biggest cities in the U.S...
  
  And then a few randoms, like New Orleans and Hot Springs, that I assume are "fillers" when bigger cities start getting too far apart from each other.
