I'm not a cosplayer, just a photographer, but I think one thing you could do is attend some gatherings in your area for cosplayers...not everyone has to wear a costume or be a photographer at these gatherings, but they're a nice way to meet people who have a shared interest in cosplay. It might help break the ice and you might make some friends who like to cosplay before going to a con....
Good luck!
