I saw this spider on the shutters outside of my window near my front door. Is this a brown recluse? If not, any idea what kind it is? Thank you in advance!

Definitely not a brown recluse: (1) You are well outside it's normal distribution range, (2) It would be extremely unusual to say the least to find one in an exposed outdoor situation like this, and (3) recluse spiders are devoid of any color pattern other than the dark 'violin' marking on the cephalothorax.

All that aside, I cannot see enough detail in your image to offer a definite identification, but you may rest assured that it is nothing dangerous.
