She’s a Marbled Orbweaver, Araneus marmoreus. They make big circular (orb) webs to catch flying insects. It is pretty easy to walk into one. The females stay near the center of the web during times of low light. This species is very variable in colors and markings combinations. The spider in the photo has a more standard version. If you look through images of them though, you’ll see many that look different. The leg band markings are consistent, at least. They start orange proximally and change to black and white distally.
