The best way to get over a fear is to meet it face-to-face. It helps when there is a camera lens acting as a buffer.
This one wasn’t a jumper but it startled me a couple of times when it moved . . . very quickly.

Through My Lens 
Looks like our “Daddy-long-legs”… lovely capture…
I’m not big on spiders either. Maybe I should start photographing them too.
The harvester is not a spider . . . . but I suppose it’s close enough. It is an arachnid, but different order from spiders.
I am a great believer in running away but I am glad that you were brave and took such good pictures for us to enjoy.
