Actually the original question had nothing to do with google imports.

The issue was the fact that Outlook Desktop application contacts with photos assigned do not have the photos synced to Outlook.com online people hub, and thus onward to the Windows Phone. The problem is with the Outlook.com online people hub only showing contact photos for contacts linked to some social network. Local assigned photos (on the Phone or in the Desktop Outlook) do not sync & display in the Outlook online service. It is the break in the chain between the Desktop and the Phone.

I guess the answer to the question is:

There is no answer at this time because the Outlook.com people hub lacks this basic capability.

I know.... the 'feature' may be added in the next release.

Please, implement add/edit contact pictures in outlook.com ASAP! This is MUST HAVE feature!

It's a joke not to have ability not only change, but even to ADD your contact's pictures!

This is one of the reasons we are still using Gmail along with limited number (just 3) for e-mail addresses per contact.

Hi RuslanMS,

This feature is still currently unavailable in Hotmail but I will forward this suggestion over to our product team as consideration for a future release. You may also provide us this suggestion through this link.

Thanks!

I would also reiterate that this single feature is a deal breaker for me on outlook.com.  I've been working to migrate everything over to outlook.com from Gmail, and unfortunately saved my contacts for last. 

Now after going through a lot of effort, it seems I will have to move everything back to Gmail and stop using outlook (even though I prefer it's web interface) as I do not want to manage two separate accounts. 

Having the ability to add in my own picture and have it sync to my phone (iPhone) is critical if I plan to manage all my information using outlook.com.  Very disappointing.
