I have done just that with my Brother MFC. The only thing, is that you cannot put TOO many photos at one time, or they will feed more than one at a time. Maybe 10 or so at a time works, but test for yourself. I also have a Canon LiDE 50 (or is it a 60 -- does not matter in this case) that will do multi-scans on a flatbed. Depending on size, you can do up to 6 photos with one scan. Works great!
