Please take this photo as a gift

I was at a celebration of the opening of a new women's center in a village in Guatemala. I offered to take pictures of the women and their children, and to have the pictures sent back to them. I will add a card to be placed with the photos so they know to keep their own pictures

This is the complete sentence I want to write and my translation:

Please take this photo as a gift for all that you do for your family and your community.

Por favor, tome usted su foto como un regalo para todo lo que hace para su familia y su comunidad.

Gracias.

Hi, DR!

Por favor, acepte esta foto como un (pequeño, sencillo) regalo por todo lo que hace por su familia y su comunidad.

You can use "Tomar" in this case or even "Aceptar" both are correct.

Example: "Acepta esta foto como un regalo."

What a great gift!

I agree with Cogu's "acepte" (as opposed to Francisco's "acepta") because you want to use the polite form here.
