according to pleco these two things both look the same, is there much of a difference?
拍照、拍照片

Not really, 拍照 is just short for 拍照片.

I have to ask about 所以我朋友和我一起去了臭臭拍照的公园 because the translation provided here does not make sense to me within the context of the story later in this level. There my understanding is that the owner of the dog is told by a friend that the dog is famous for taking photos. As a result they go to the park that is in the photos of the dog rather than going to "the park where we take pictures of Chouchou together". Since she did not know the dog were taking pictures she couldn't possibly go to the park where they take pictures together.
Mandarin Blueprint
I just tweaked the translation slightly to something more appropriate: "So my friend and I went to the park where pictures are taken of Chouchou together." That should makea little more sense.
