I would say it "Shashin anata onegai shimasu watashi wa kakarimasu?" Sounds right. How would you most of the time say it?
Japanese is more complex than that, you cannot take a literal translation of words and slap it together.

My limited japanese would suggest:

anata no shashin o totte mo iidesu ka

あなたの写真を撮ってもいいですか?

It is literally "Is it ok to take a picture of you?"

Though, more fluent members can probably correct me
