Hi patricew9,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The link below will show you how to save photos in Messages to your iPhone's camera roll. You can then get photos from your iPhone into your computer by using Photo Stream, or importing directly into the computer. I'll include more information for you below:

To save a photo or video you received in Messages, tap the photo or video to open it fully. Tap the Share icon in the bottom left corner of the screen. Then tap Save Image to save it to your Camera Roll.

If you have an iCloud account, you can also enable Photo Stream on your iPhone and your computer to sync photos:
