The best way to describe my business generically is that we are similar to a photo studio. We set up web pages containing all of the customers photos with some of our packages.

These websites are located at lastname.ourdomain.com

I was thinking...
That if I put good titles, metatags, and a footer that had links and decent link text on these sites, that they would help out the pagerank for our main site. It would put our links on about 260 or so pages in about 26 domains. All PR0 currently, but maybe they'll increase over time and maybe just the sheer number will help me out.

First question: would this work?

My next question involves submission. It seems to me that submitting 26 domains to google from the same IP would get ignored. I can spread it accross IPs from my home, the office, and our webserver - so I have 3 IPs to work with, a fourth if I go to a buddy's house. How many and how often should I submit these sites?

The top listing in my most desirable keyword has 33 links with maybe 10-15 pr5-6's.

Currently, I've got about 80 pr0 links across 3 domains, 3 pr6 in different domains, and another 5 pr0 accross different domains coming soon from other local businesses I've contacted.

I'm at pr0 right now, with a poorly designed site sitting in googles cache waiting for an update.

I'd say forget about the metatags regarding Google

As long as they don't have real links from other domains it won't boost you very much.

My next question involves submission.
Forget about submissions. The only thing to consider are links from other sites. Then Google will find your sites automatically and might list you in good positions. If you don't have any links to your domain(s) you won't get ranked on top the SERPs if it's a bit competitive search phrase.

*Possibly*, but it's no harm to use them. Google is king today, but..........
