For N number of contacts, you can add image data into VCF by using simple method as below.

-(NSData*)getVCFDataWithImagesFromContacts:(NSArray*)arrContacts
{
//---- Convert contacts array into VCF data.
    NSError *error;
    NSData *vcfData = [CNContactVCardSerialization dataWithContacts:arrContacts error:&error];


    //--- Convert VCF data into string.
    NSString *strVCF = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:vcfData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

    //--- Split contacts from VCF.
    NSMutableArray *arrSplit = (NSMutableArray*)[strVCF componentsSeparatedByString:@"END:VCARD"];
    [arrSplit removeLastObject];//-- if object is "\r\n" otherwise comment this line.

    //--- Validate array count
    if (arrSplit.count == arrContacts.count)
    {
        for (int index=0;index
