I've found that the behaviour depends on how you anchor the image. If I anchor 'as character', click 
anywhere in the margins, and then Insert > Page Break, a new page opens automatically after the image.  
You can also use Insert > More breaks > Manual Break is you wish to  select a particular page style.

On the other hand, if you anchor to paragraph or 'to character', then you most likely have to do as 
you describe and work you way to the bottom of the page before inserting a new page.

To change the anchoring, right click on the image and select Anchor.
