I know I need the proper gems to be able to trap a soul.
But is there a limit to which type/level of creature you can soul trap based on your own level or conjuration skill?
Soul trap all creatures regardless of their level

Best Answer
No, not all creatures can be trapped using Soul Trap. For example Dragon's will always resist being soul trapped. The dragon souls will instead be absorbed by you directly.
Dwarven creations (Centurion's Sphere's etc.) are driven by souls captured in soul gems, so they don't have a soul themselves. So you can't re-trap these souls, instead the creations will drop filled soul gems themselves.
For other creatures there is no level restriction.
