Let us all take a photo together!
'Facciamo' = fac-CIA-mo. 'Insieme' = in-SIE-me.
Use this to create a group memory at a party. Suggesting a group photo is socially inclusive and creates a positive moment. In Italy, photos are often shared on WhatsApp groups immediately after — it is a form of social documentation.
'Facciamo' (let us do) is the first-person plural imperative. 'Tutti insieme' (all together) is a warm phrase that includes everyone. 'Una foto' (a photo) — in Italian the word is feminine: la foto (abbreviation of fotografia).
Vieni anche tu in foto!

Requesting the photo digitally — very Italian
Italian social media culture is heavily photo-driven. WhatsApp groups for friend circles receive streams of party photos within hours of an event. The 'foto ricordo' (memory photo) is a tradition at every Italian social gathering. These photos are treasured and often printed for albums — especially at weddings and milestone celebrations.
