Probably not. If it were me, I'd put each group of files into its own 
directory, then use the rename command, e.g.:

cd ~/cam/wedding
rename 's/^/wedding-/' *.jpg

cd ~/cam/birth
rename 's/^/birth-/' *.jpg

The 'rename' command for Debian is pretty powerful and dangerous. If you 
want to use it, read the manpage first.
