Not knowing how many images you want to put in the database I'd initially recommend FileMaker Pro. It is easy to set up and modify and handles images quite easily. It is also multi-user and its databases can be accessed on Windows systems.
All scanners are not equal. Are you scanning slides or flat art? For pictures up to 8.5x11 inches I'd recommend the Apple OneScanner and Ofoto software that comes with it (or used to).
Hope this helps.
