Good question! I was taught in school to use 'sacar', but my Spanish-speaking friends say it sounds funny, and to use 'tomar'. I guess it's another one of those things that vary by region... - malcriada, Dec 7, 2010
I have heard both sacar and tomar here in Bolivia. - ian-hill, Dec 7, 2010

Hi and welcome to the forum.
I would say: "¿Podría sacar una foto?"

Formal: ¿Podría tomarle una foto? Informal: ¿Puedo tomarte una foto?

Or "¿Puede(s) tomar una foto?"
Or (holding your camera up) "¿Foto, por favor?" works well, too.

You could also use "Me gustaría..." to say "I would like..."
