Changing contact pics in Hangouts

I'm using a Nexus 5 with 5.1 and Hangouts 3.0. I have pictures for all of my contacts but when I get an SMS message, instead of using the pic I saved in my contacts, it uses the person's Google profile pic instead. Is there any way to force Hangouts to use my contact pic instead of their Google pic? Any help would be appreciated.

I don't think its possible because hangout uses the images on Google, not on your device. You can also check the sms tab if its enabled, it doesn't show any images of the contacts. You can try heading to Google and editing the contact images, but it will be tedious.

How would you do it in Google? Tedious how? Can I change someone else's photo in Google, or at least the way I view their profile?
