I’m reasonably certain this is Ochlerotatus (or still Aedes) was to some. Any thoughts on species? This is when she first landed on me

Aedes (subgenus Ochlerotatus) sp.
You're right about it being Aedes, the tapered abdomen with excerted cerci is distinct for this genus in your region. We'd probably need a highly cropped photo of the side of the thorax and probably a cropped photo of the foretarsal claw to ID to species. Or if you have links to full-res versions of these photos that could work just as well.
