Jaina Lee Ortiz, the Station 19 and Chicago Med actress, invited fans to travel through her recent highlights with a new Instagram carousel titled “Moments in time ✨.” In a series of candid snapshots, Ortiz revisits key moments on stages, at premieres and in personal celebrations — all wrapped up in a single post that’s already racking up likes and comments.
Nostalgic Glimpse: Comedy Night
One standout slide transports viewers back to May 23, when Ortiz joined the SAP Night Cap show at UCB TLA as a special guest. The original Instagram announcement read: “ITS GETTIN CALIENTE NEXT FRIDAY, MAY 23rd at 10PM … SPECIAL GUEST: @jainaleeortiz from @station19.” Fans remember her witty on-stage banter and the improv troupe’s hilarious callbacks to Ortiz’s TV roles. In the carousel, she’s captured mid-laugh under stage lights, reminding followers of her comedy chops beyond scripted drama.

Behind The Scenes: Short Film Premiere
Another carousel image nods to Ortiz’s support for emerging female filmmakers. In a past post, she celebrated the iChild short by Marta McRoss, sharing, “Huge love bomb to @jolene_rodriguez_ for creating an initiative that supports new female filmmakers. I was able to work with @martamcross on a short she wrote and directed called iChild … exploring past traumas through AI and how important it is to embrace inner child healing.” The snapshot shows Ortiz on a red carpet, sipping champagne and surrounded by the film’s creative team.

Gala Appearances: Candid Portraits
Ortiz’s carousel also features a striking portrait by @carlosericlopez: she’s styled in a sleek ensemble with on-point hair and makeup credits to @glambynatalie. The caption for that shoot read simply “💜🌴✨ Portrait 📸: @carlosericlopez Styling: @meganzina Hair & makeup: @glambynatalie #LaCena,” demonstrating her knack for combining high fashion with approachability.
Support For Causes: Fundraising Evening
Giving back takes center stage in another throwback. Ortiz attended the inaugural Cure Addiction Now fundraiser to back friend Lisa Vidal’s mission against substance use disorder. Her post declared, “Proud to support my dear @thereallisavidal at the Inaugural fundraising evening for @cureaddictionnow. Always inspired by you and proud of you, Lisa.” A smiling Ortiz, in evening black, held a glass at the microphone — proof that her off-screen work runs as deep as her on-screen roles.
Birthday Cheers: Gratitude And Friendship
Finally, Ortiz shared a warm birthday tribute slide. In one post, she thanked fans “for all of you. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your warm and sweet birthday messages. Feeling very loved. ❤️ #Nov20 #scorpio #80sbaby.” In another, she sent a shout-out to her “Partner in Crime @jainaleeortiz” (Rosewood co-actor), writing: “Rosewood wouldn’t be the same without you. 🙏🏽.” The carousel’s final image shows Ortiz blowing out candles, surrounded by close friends.
By grouping these snapshots under the simple caption “Moments in time ✨,” Jaina Lee Ortiz reminded fans that her journey extends from network dramas to intimate gatherings. It’s a curated peek at the actress’s multifaceted life: performer, collaborator, advocate and friend.
With the carousel now live, Ortiz’s followers are revisiting each memory and flooding her comments with heart emojis. As she balances a busy shooting schedule with personal projects and philanthropy, “Moments in time” offers a heartfelt retrospective — and a promise of more milestones to come.
