As I know, iMessage takes the info from your address book (as it synchronizes it with apple servers), so you should change your picture or your contact's pictures there.

Apple products are so frustrating lately. Why should you add the picture in an address book to get it on iMessage? Recently, I think Apple has failed to take usability into account all together. Apple products were known to be intuitive, easy to use products. I guess it's time to look at Windows again.

Drag and drop from iPhoto or Aperture or desktop or finder.

Forgot; Drag and drop onto circle in Contacts above the person's info where it says "add photo".
