for themes there is PBcontact Photo, which makes contact photos a playboy icon
so it can be done, but there is no app that can help you customize this easily without building your own theme to make default contact photo set to what you want
On your contact, click on the label type :
And it will give you access to the label types.
These are iOS 7 screens, but it's the same on older versions !

This isn't a feature in iOS 8 or iOS 9.
If you don't want a new number to be categorized as "home" you need to tap and change it. Luckily, third party apps can and do provide more customized interfaces to your contact database.
I would start with a tool like Interact for setting up a more flexible default contact addition interface as well as extending concepts such as groups and smart parsing of contact details.
The time you save with one-tap contact addition and share sheet access to this app will more than make up for the expense and effort needed to have a better tool for contact management than ships with the OS.
