The world just shifted on its axis...

I’ve neen wanting something like that for all our old family pictures.

This scanner can do photos, though that's not its main strong point. I haven't tried it out yet; I have some older, annoying but capable flatbed Canon scanners for photos. I don't scan a lot of photos; mostly I send them (whether they're prints, slides, or negatives) to ScanCafe and they've done a great job archiving all the ol' family slides and negatives. For home movies, I use Victory Studios, and for old audio (records, cassettes, reel-to-reel tapes…) I use Precision Audio Restoration. For books and magazines I use Blue Leaf. For leftover Torqueflite meatloaf I use Anchor-Hocking.
