How do you develop your style? I see alot of professional photographers who have a specific style. How can I get my style?

I dont think it's something that consciously can be created.. It just happens. Comes from inside and is reflected in your work. B)
How can i get my style? i would say it starts w/loving what you do and doing alot of it. It will show itself in time. :thumbsup:

Just keep taking lots and lots of photos. Eventually you'll see a pattern emerging. Usually it will be your favorite subject or favorite genre - landscape, portraits, commercial, etc. I sort of fell into my style - with 8 kids I needed to develop myself as a fairly decent portraiture.

I think just practice. You'll soon find a common theme in alot of your work. Mine tends to be "architectural" in that I look for lines and order, even in nature.

Everyone else pretty much answered this one. Time and lots of pictures. Mine came about when I bought my first large aperture lens that REALLY let me select my focus point.

Just take photos all the time.

Some people do the 365 project (the take at least 1 photo a day for a year and post it on something like flickr).

Shoot what you love is a start to your photography style. Then all you have to do is get good at it.
