Thank you both. Took pic at night. Had know idea she was carting young until I saw photo
Nice capture Michelle - as Joao has said, it is a wolf spider - a female carrying her babies on her back. The spots of light are eye-shine from the mom & young!
I've moved this to arthropods for you.
It's a wolf spider (Lycosidae) due that parental care, but not possible to get to species from these pictures.
