A StorageFile typically represents a file that has already been saved. If you look at StorageFile.Path after taking the photo it should be something like this:

C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Packages\[appname]\TempState\picture003.jpg

Since the file is already saved you can move or copy it to a different location like this:

storageFile.moveAsync(Windows.Storage.KnownFolders.picturesLibrary)

I hope this helps.
