take the pictures outside.. out of direct sun lite.. and do not use a flash..
or take inside.. out of shine from direct lite and take without flash.

We actually ran across some non-glare page protectors when we were creating a display book of our work and our materials. In this case, I actually didn't like it taking away the shine, but worst case scenario you could probably use one if you can't get rid of the glare. A piece of nonglare plexiglass would also probably work.

Yea... outside, or if can't, try taking a picture at a slight angle so you don't get the reflection.

This is what you are looking for. It is called dulling spray.

From the link below..."Temporarily reduces shine and glare when photographing or filming bright objects. Reduces shine for crisp, clear photos and videos Wipes off non-porous items without a trace"

Krylon: Products: Dulling Spray

What kind of camera are you using? If you have a dSLR you can try using a circular polarizer.

Use a light box/cube/tent to diffuse the light and don't use a flash.
