I agree that iPhoto is a great way to get the job done and going digital provides options that were troublesome/expensive to implement before. I've been using a digital camera for awhile now and iPhoto makes it easy to archive and share "kid pictures" among friends and family.
Where I expect iPhoto to really shine is for cataloging and distributing old family albums. My father recently passed away and I've come into possession of an extensive collection of old photographs. I would prefer not to disperse the original albums and would very much like to head off any chance of future squabbling over them. iPhoto, the flatbed scanner, and several winter weekends will solve the problem. I'll also be including new photography of family heirlooms before they are shipped.
Once I'm done with iPhoto, everyone gets a printed book and the originals go someplace more "photo friendly" than under the coffee table. In the event that something happens to someone's album (fire, flood, children, pets, etc.) than it's just a matter of having a new one printed up.
