It could well be Araneus diadematus, the cross orbweaver, but it could also be a Neoscona sp. My confidence level is not high, I'd need some more close-ups to give you a better answer.
For a complete list of common names of arachnids in North America, North of Mexico by the Committe on Common Names of Arachnids of the American Arachnological Society, free, go to ATSHQ.org and look through the downloads and/or articles online.
