The simplest solution is to use the PhotoChooserTask.

Something like this should work:

MediaSource mediaSource = MediaSource.GetAvailableMediaSources()
            .First((source => source.MediaSourceType == MediaSourceType.LocalDevice));
using (MediaLibrary mediaLibrary = new MediaLibrary(mediaSource))
{
     PictureAlbum cameraRollAlbum = mediaLibrary.RootPictureAlbum.Albums.First((album) => album.Name == "Camera Roll");
     //Use cameraRollAlbum.Pictures. to access picture
}

Just make sure that you add the ID_CAP_MEDIALIB_PHOTO capabilities in your WMAppManifest
