Try turning off iMessages (Settings —> Messages —> iMessages), restart your phone, then switch it back on. If that doesn’t work, try restarting your phone again (without turning off iMessages). Your carrier may also not support photos sent to you. You can switch from your number to your iCloud email (the email you signed up with to Apple). If none of those steps helped you, you may need to contact Apple Support.
