I always think these kids are the most beautiful children. Their smiles and laughs are always so genuine and bright.

Portraits? I can't really help you there, but if it's journalistic stuff I have some experience.

Portraits - but I can use some journalistic help also b/c the parents always wants to see the essence of their child.

Ah man! I recently saw a gallery of the most beautiful portraits I have ever seen of children, and they all had special needs. For the life of me, I can't remember where! I will try to remember.

The photographer was just wonderful. But what struck me at the time was that he/she really didn't do anything special regarding their disabilities. Just wonderful pictures. Their disabilities were for the most part evident, but all you saw was emotion and love.

I don't have any personal experience/advice, but you might find some inspiration at the Littlest Heroes Project

Yes -- the gallery I saw was somehow related to this site -- maybe a feature in a magazine or something. Glad someone else knew about it!
