Try storing the images in a table and loading them with a loop. For 
example:

local images = {}
function love.load()
  for i=1,100 do
    images[i] = love.graphics.newImage("IMAGENAME"..i..".png")
  end
end

This will load 100 images named IMAGENAME1.png through to 
IMAGENAME100.png, you can change the name an extension of the image to 
match the images you want to load
