Best Answer
You probably want the first one: "Excuse me, can you take a picture of us?". This asks somebody to take a photograph of you.
The second, "Excuse me, can you picture us?", is a valid sentence, but means something entirely different. It asks somebody if they can "picture" you in their mind, or "imagine" you. It's not a very common sentence, but it does make sense.
