Annotate default or shortcut

I have created a photo book where the images are placed randomly on the pages. When I want to annotate an image, I create a text box directly below the image, type in the annotation and then I have to manually lower the annotation within the text box, in order to produce a pleasing seperation between the image and the annotation. Is there a way to automate this process in order to not require this process for each annotation?

You can then select both the image frame and the text frame (or just the text frame by itself) and add to an InDesign Library file or the CC Library. Then just drag out whenever you want it. 

 

If you want to use Adobe Bridge, you can add the caption info there and have it automatic
