Office Machine Supply

I wish to produce professional photo calendars for sale to tourists. Is it possible to do the layout in either Elements 5.0, or maybe a freeware program, andthen send it to a professional printer? I also wish to customize the information on the dates- for example, let’s say I am making a calendar in the USA, for sale to tourists. I will have photos of various landscapes, attractions, etc, and then I want to include information on important dates, like say when the moon landing occured, or things from American history that tourists might find interesting. What software would be appropriate? It needs to look much better than the standard calendar we make for Xmas for our families, as I want to sell these in shops. Think of those big photo calendars you see, like with horses, landscapes, or other areas of interest. Thanks for any advice!
