[take a picture] or [have a picture taken]

I have made up the sentence below.

(1) I want to take a picture with you.

My non-native English speaking friends think it's wrong. Their revision is given below.

(2) I want to have a picture taken with you.

What I am trying to say is "You and I will be in the same picture."

Who is correct? I really appreciate your help. Thanks a lot.

Your friends' version is better because it is more explicit, but your version would be unexceptionable around here in the US.
