Falsch. Es muss heißen
Kann ich Sie fotografieren? (May I take your picture)

Entschuldigung, "Sie" is meaning "You". How can I say, "take Your photos".– AAICommented Dec 19, 2014 at 7:23

Conveniently, Sie refers to both a single person and a group (polite form). If you are on familiar terms, it would be "dich" (single person) or "euch" (group).– IngmarCommented Dec 19, 2014 at 7:31

1Ihr would be "your", but the German expression doesn't refer to the photo as such (ihr Foto = your picture) but the act of taking the picture instead (Darf ich Sie fotografieren = lit. may I photograph you).– IngmarCommented Dec 19, 2014 at 9:06

1No. Firstly, music is not an activity :) Secondly, it is not about the personal aspect. It's just that the construction
to take one's pictureis not used in German and instead we sayto take a picture of something. Your examples are something completely different and are translated toIch mag Ihre Musik / Ihr Lächeln– HaraldCommented Dec 19, 2014 at 9:41 -
1No, it's Ich liebe Ihre Musik and Ich liebe Ihr Lachen. Unfortunately this is not the venue to go into greater detail.– IngmarCommented Dec 19, 2014 at 9:42
Die deutsche Konstruktion ist "jemanden fotografieren", also beispielsweise
Sie fotografiert ihn.
(She is taking his picture.)
The rest is left as an exercise to the reader ;)
When talking to a child, I would rather say:
Darf ich ein Foto von dir machen?
This sounds very natural to me. The verb dich fotografieren sounds a little bit more formal, but only a little bit.
