take (a picture of you/ your picture)

Let's say you travel to Kyoto, Japan. You see a woman in kimono and you want to take a picture of her.
Which is correct?
1. Can I take a picture of you?
2. Can I take your picture?

Plus if you want to be in a picture with the woman, can you say,
3. Can I take a picture of you and me?
4. Can I take our picture?
Or something better??

Thank you.

Both 1 and 2 are fine, though to be absolutely correct, use "may" instead of "can". "

3 sounds fine, but I think it sounds better to say: "May I take a picture of us together?"
