Uploading image directories

I’m pretty new to WP, I’m redoing a site which has many images galleries the images are categorize by directory sample images/doors, images/windows etc, is there a way I can upload the door, windows etc. directories to the uploads directories on WP and have it detect the images or even better if I where to choose that specific directory to show me only the pictures with in?

It would just make life a lot easier to be able to keep the pictures organized by their perceptive category to simplify the creation of photo gallery for each.

Thanks
