Can't sync Contact Photos with iPhone & EAS

Using an iPhone6 with ActiveSync mailbox, often contact photos do not sync.

Add a new contact on iPhone and include a photo.
Go into webmail -- contact is there, but no photo.

After several tests, it appears to be related to the size/resolution of the photo. When I use the front-facing (selfie) camera with lower resolution, it works pretty reliably. Take a pic with the regular camera and a busy background and it fails.

Not sure if it's related, but the iPhone allows you to select a portion of the pic with a circle. When it syncs to SmarterMail, it takes the whole picture, not just the circled section.

Thanks,

Kevin
