<<The one thing I found makes the biggest difference is if you can give people

is also non-threatening from a publication POV).  Taking pictures "just
because I like to" doesn't cut it.  It's such an unusual activity
(especially shooting children) that people are sure you must have a specific
reason.  Claiming you don't arouses their suspicions even further.>>

I would think that promising them (and subsequently delivering) prints would 
go a long way too . . .
