The important part of this is to specify self as the Owner, otherwise you will receive a listing of every public AMI!

import boto3

# Get a list of all AMIs owned by this account_id
client = boto3.client('ec2', region_name='us-east-1')

response = client.describe_images(Owners=['self'])

for ami in response['Images']:
  print (ami['ImageId'])  # Or whatever you wish to do

See: describe_images() documentation
