"This is my son and I." "I" is part of a compound predicate nominative (some would say subject). That is the formal grammar of it, but almost everybody ignores the grammar and says "This is my son and me."
If it's a caption, "My son and me" or "My son and I". There is no grammar to that.
"This is a picture of my son and me." "Me" is part of the compound object of the preposition

Hi,
The car hit my son and me.
Here, the phrase is the object., not the subject.
